Whereas his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax , and the Army doe declare , that the proceedings of the House upon particulars and proofes to make good the Charge will probably take up much time , and the present affaires of the Kingdome in relation to those great matters proposed by them , do ( as they say ) require a speedy consideration and that they propound that those greater and more generall matters of the Kingdome be first considered of , and settled .
