To his Excellency Sir Tho: Fairfax.
SIR,
THis house received several desires from you, in be∣half of the Army under your Command, which they took into present consideration; but by the Kings withdrawing from Hampton Court, were interrupted in that debate. For the moneths pay, they have endeavoured the complying with it, and doubt not, but it may be speedily effected; for the Arrears, they are re∣solved to give a full and sufficient security; and are very sen∣sible of those expressions of the Army, wherein they declare their resolutions (upon a constant pay) to make it death to take any thing from any inhabitant of this kingdom; and re∣membring that the Rendezvouz of the Army beginneth on Monday next, They have commanded me to make known un∣to you (and desire you would make it known to the Soldiers) that they will forthwith proceed upon those desires of the Ar∣my, which by reason of this accident (for the present) they could not finish; and make such provision for them, both for the present for their Arrears, and their future constant pay, as may let them cleerly see, the care they have of them, and the value they put upon their past services; resting confident of their complyance and submission to the Commands and Directions of Parliament; not having more in command, I remain,
Your Excellencies humble Servant, William Lenthal Speaker.
Westminster. 13. Nov. 1647.
