By the Articles of Agreement touching the Rendition of the City of York.  
THe Generals of the Armies have treated as Generals in reference only to themselves and their soldiers, and it was not intended to entrench upon any Ordinances of Parliament, but all such persons and estates as were subject to Sequestrations, might still be liable and subject thereto, notwithstanding any general words in the Articles.  
And thus these Generals do declare under their hands, and the Commissioners of the Treaty do declare, That they did several times during the Treaty express to the other Commissioners, that they had no order to meddle with any Ordinance of Parliament, or to go further than the bounds of the Army.
