London: Printed for A. R. 1648.   

The further Demands and Propositions of the general council of the Army.  
1 WHereas De●zill Hollis Esq. Lionel Copley Fsq. mayor Gen. Massey, and others of your Members,( whose Names you well know) were in the year 1647. impeached by yourselves for Treason, or for high Crimes and misdemeanours, in relation to the Treasonable Engagement in the City of London, the violence then done upon the Parliament, and the levying of a new war, and other evils in maintenance and prosecution thereof; and upon clear proofs against them, were by your censure expelled the House, and disabled from further trust therein, and upon new Writs issued out new Members were chosen and return'd in some of their rooms; and yet by the prevalance of their Faction ( When in the last Summers war divers faithful Members were engaged abroad upon necessary public service, and others through Malignant Tumults and Disturbances could not safely attend the House) the same persons were afterwards re-admitted to sit in the House, and Vote as formerly, without any trial or satisfaction in the things whereof they were accused: We demand, that all those Members so impeached, may be forthwith secured, to be brought to Justice or trial for their said Crimes; and that such others of their Faction, by whose Votes Councells and Confederacie, they were so re-admitted, may be secluded from the House, and not sit as Judges for those their confederates.  
2. Whereas by the Confederacy of Maj. G. Brown now Sheriff of London, with the said Impeached Members and others, the Scots were invited and drawn in to invade this kingdom the last Summer, insomuch as when upon the actual Invasion the House proceeded to declare them Enemies, and those that adhered to them Troytors; yet the said Confederates and other treacherous Members( to the number of Ninety and odd, as upon the division of the House appeared) did by their councils and Votes endeavour to hinder the House from declaring against their confederate Invaders; We desire, That the said Maj. Gen. Brown may be also secured and brought to judgement, for that and other his treacherous Confederacies or Correspondencies with the public and declared Enemies of the kingdom( which we hereby charge him with, and shall be ready to make proof of) And that the rest of the Ninety and odd persons dissenting in the said Vote, may be excluded the House, and not trusted further in your councils.  
3. Whereas in a continued Series of your proceedings for many moneths together, we have seen the prevalence of the same treacherous, corrupt and divided councils, through Factions and private Interests, opposing or obstructing Justice in all kinds, diverting your councils from any thing of public good, hindering any proceedings to any such Settlement, as would consist with security to the public Interest, or put a real end to the Troubles, burdens or Hazards, of the kingdom, and precipitating into treacherous and destructive Compliances and Conjunctions with the acknowledged Enemies thereof; and this we have seen particularly in the corrupt councils and Resolves of receding from, and recalling the Votes of No more Addresses to the King, &c.( the justness and necessity whereof you had once so cleared to the world) also in the Votes for entertaining or seeking( after all that) a personal Treaty wtth the King your Prisoner, upon such Propositions as himself should tender, as well as your own, offering upon imperfect( and those but wrested) Concessions from him, to restore him, with impunity, to Honor, freedom, Safety, and his Revenue, exempting all( even the principal) Authors and Actors in the last Summers war from capital Punishment or trial, and bringing off the rest with Fines or Censures most inconsiderable to the public Damage and Mischief they have done; whereby both they and others are encouraged to renew and multiply the kingdoms Troubles.  
The 6. of Decemb. was presented to the general council of the Army, certain heads with many Officers thought fit to be insisted on for a good and speedy settlement of the kingdom.  
1 That the King, that capital destroyer of, and shedder of the blood of some hundred thousands of his good people in Engiand and Ireland, may be brought to public Justice.  
2 That some of the principal Actors, now in your hand, may have public justice done upon them for the innocent blood they have split.  
3 That the principal actors and abettors in bringing in the Scots Army( if found out) may be brought to justice.  
4 That no Negative Voices may be used in this Kingdom against the Peoples Freedom and just Liberty.  
5 That the Rights and Liberties of the free-born People of England be vindicated and cleared.  
6 That there may be a more just and equal way for election of Burgesses to the Parliament.

9 That a Treasurer, with two or three Commissioners, in each County, City or Riding, be appointed for such service, with some of the Army, or such as they shall appoint to be joined with them, whereby the Revenue of the Kingdom may be more certainly known; and not converted to private uses as heretofore, under an oath for their faithful discharging of their trust, allowing them for their pains two pence in the pound, and no more.

16 That tithes belonging to the Clergy be taken away, and a land-rate thorough the Kingdom in every Parish, equal by value to Tithes, for their maintenance.  
17 That some public place, in every City or County for a Treasury, be kept for that end onely; and the Justices of the Peace for such City or County, to receive and pay them their several proportions, as shall arise out of every Parish, to the Ministers of the said place quarterly.  
18 That the six clerks Office be taken away, for their intolerable exactions of eight pence a sheet, for every Bill and Answer filing in that Court, and ten shillings for every Commission.  
That the Clerks belonging to the Chancery, may be sworn attorneys of that Court, who may be allowed two pence a sheet for every Bill and Answer drawing, and half a crown for every Commission.  
20. That all final laws may be reviewed, what shall be thought destructive to the people, may be taken away; and what shall be thought necessary, to be continued, such penalty may be employed for the public use of every County or City, where the offence shall be committed.
