An Order of His excellency Sir Tho. Fairfax, General of the Forces raised by the Parliament, in pursuance of the Order aforesaid.  
WHereas it hath pleased the honourable House of Commons, by their Order of the twenty eighth of June last past, to recommend unto me, That an effectual course may be taken that no Discouragement or Obstruction may be given by the soldiers to the due levying and bringing in the Excise and other assessments and Payments to the Parliament: And to the end that such Obstructions may be prevented, I do hereby require all Officers and soldiers of the Amie under my Command, that they do not in any kind discourage or obstruct the due levying and bringing in of the Excise and other assessments and Payments to the Parliament. And if any Officers or soldiers shall notwithstanding go about to hinder or obstruct the same, I do hereby require the Officer commanding in chief at present, the Troop, Company or Regiment, in those parts where such Obstruction shall be given, to send the Officers or soldiers so offending in custody to the Head-Quarter, that they may be proceeded against for their Contempt of this Order. And in case of any tumultuous carriage by any persons, tending to the obstructing the due levying of Excise and Payments, as aforesaid; the said Officers and soldiers are to be aiding and assisting for the suppressing of the same.  
Given under my Hand and Seal at Wickham, the first day of July, 1647. T. FAIRFAX.
