Propositions to Colonel Prichard Governor of Cardiffe, from divers Knights and Gentlemen at Cardiffe, sent by a Gentlewoman.
Landaff. Iune 15. 1647.
THat the Arbitrary unlawful proceedings of the Committee, well known to the County, by sad experience, and which are expressed, as Articles ready to be produced; and the assurance, that the Committee did further intend, to make captive severall Gentlemen here, of fortune and integrity. And because the countrey have no place of appeal for redresse of their grievances; they have assembled themselves for no other intention, but for the safety of mens persons and estates, from such exorbitant Com∣mittee courses.
However to avoyd shedding of Christian blood, the Countrey are content,
That upon good assurance of what followes, presently to dis∣band, and every man to repaire to his home, (namely)
That the inhabitants of this County, Laick and Clergy (li∣ving according, and conforming themselves to the known lawes of the Kingdome) may be permitted to repossesse their liberties, and estates, in such manner as was before the setting up of that Committee here. All taxations, other then such to Generall Laughorne, to be respited; and this to be inviolably observed, un∣till it be clearly manifested what the issue will be, between the King, his Parliament, Sir Thomas Fairfax, and the Army, which God grant maybe to his glory, and the peace of the kingdome.
The King, Parliament, Sir Tho. Fairfax, and the Army.
