A PROCLAMATION By his Excellency Sir THOMAS FAIRFAX: Concerning the proceedings of some Ministers of the Church of England WITH His Excellencies Resolution concer∣ning the insolencies exercised by some to abuse his Excellency and his Councell of Warre.
VVHEREAS it appeares upon sufficient proofe, that many violent Tumults and outrages, are committed by severall persons, a∣gainst

divers Ministers, placed by Order, or Ordinance of Parliament, in sequestred Livings, and for such their violent carriage to, and detain∣ing from the said Ministers, their pro∣fits; there is pretended by the said parties, power and authority from the Generall and the Army: And for the more plausible justifying of their undue pretences herein, have caused to be Printed and Published, a Pam∣phlet intituled TVVO PETITIONS of the sequestred Clergy of England and VVales. One to the Kings most Excellent Majesty; the other to Sir THOMAS FAIRFAX, with a (pretended) Declaration of the Generall and His Councell of VVar thereupon; of all which actions as aforesaid; VVee cannot but testifie

a very ill resentment, and doe hereby declare a dislike of such proceedings, disclaiming not onely the actions themselves to have had any incou∣ragement from us, but also any ends or intentions to that purpose. And to the clearing of our selves herein, VVee shall henceforth indevour the bringing to condigne punishment, such who have or shall exercise the like insolencies upon any pretence whatsoever.
Given under my Hand and Seale, the 11 of August, 1647.
T. FAIRFAX.
