We taking into Our Princely Consideration the ready affection of Our good People of Our Counties of Oxford and Berks, to supply and furnish Our Army with all possible accommodation the Country can afford, do expect therefore, that you, whom We have trusted with Commands, shall take especial care in your several Quarters, that all soldiers under you treat, all Our good people with Brotherly humanity, and that none of them waste or spoil any corn, Hay, or other provisions, but to husband and preserve the same, as much as may be:· And do require your Care herein, as you tender Our Honour, the good of Our Army, and the conservation of the weal-public. Further commanding you to let all the soldiers under your Command know from Us, That if they shall transgress herein, they must expect to receive that punishment which either the law martial, or the laws of the Land can justly impose upon them: And We admonish you that upon all Complaints against any of your soldiers, you render them to Our Ministers of justice to be examined and proceeded against accordingly; Hereof you may not fail.
