7. Resolved, &c. That this House doth agree to the Generals Answer to the second desire of the Committee upon the fourth Resolution, viz. That Towns may be understood to extend to Market Towns onely, and streets adjoining near to the Towns.  
Mr. Scowen further reported the Generals Declaration of his Instructions touching the drawing the Army into Quarters in Cities, Market Towns, and garrisons; and the prohibiting, upon severe punishment, the taking of Free-quarter: the which was red.  
An Ordinance by the way of Declaration for bringing in the Assessments for the Army, and drawing the Army into Cities, Towns & garrisons by Decem. 10 next, and for discharging of Free-quarter, was the same day red the first and second time, and upon the question, committed to the Members of this House that are of the Committee of the Army, with the addition of 30 more as to this business, and they are to meet this afternoon at two a clock, in the room where the Committee of the Army sits, and they are to consider of the business debated touching Assignations, and such other ways as they shall think fit, for the best and most orderly bringing in, and paying out the moneys for the Army to the most satisfaction of the soldiery, and least charge and greatest ease of the Kingdom.  
Ordered, that the Committee of the Army do sand for the Treasurers at Wars, and confer and consider with them, for the continuing longer of such moneys as are advanced and lent by them for the service of the Army, and upon what security, in regard of the present occasion for the Army.  
THe Commons passed a new Proposition to be sent to the King, for security to those of Scotland who assisted the Parliament of England; and for confirmation of the amity of the Kingdoms: And a Letter to be sent to the Commissioners to come away on monday next expressly; to give account to the Houses of the Treaty; Saturday night being positively agreed upon to be the ultimate day of the Treaty, concluded by the Houses.  
LEtters were red in each House from their Commissioners in the Isle of Wight, with a Paper from the King, in answer to their last pressing for a final answer to the business of Ormond, that He gave His Answer before, that the power is by the Proposition for Ireland, included in the Parliament, and the Officers to be nominated by the two Houses; and that all being concluded in the Treaty, that will also. This Answer from His Majesty was Voted by the Commons unsatisfactory.  
VPon consideration and examination had of an insolent attempt made upon the person of the Lord Culpepper, on monday last, by Sir Robert Welsh, alias elms, appears. That the said Sir Ro. with three others armed with swords, and one of them carrying the said Sir R. Welsh his sword in his hand, meeting the Lord Culpepper unarmed, between his lodging and the Court, saluted him, and without any show of passion, expostulated with the said L. Culpepper, concerning some words uttered by his Lordship in council: to the which having received fair and civil answers, he continued his walk with him, seeming only temperately to debate the same; till on the sudden, without giving or receiving the least unkind or rough word, he gave the Lord Culpepper a blow on the face with his hand, those other with him interposing between the Lord Culpepper and his servant, and laying hands on his servant, to prevent the delivery of his Sword to his Lord, All which being duly weighed and considered, His Highness doth hereby declare, That as He looks upon, and must always remember this Act, being committed upon a Peer of the Realm of England, a privy councillor to His royal Father, and in the quality now attending His royal person; as the most malicious attempt of the authority of the King, and His own dignity, that hath been at any time committed by any person; so that in itself, all other considerations set apart, it was an infamous, ruffianly act, unworthy a person of courage or reputation, having in no degree, then, or formerly required satisfaction. And therefore His Highness conceiving a just indignation against him, and this odious and ungentlemanly demenor of his, Doth expressly inhibit and forbid the said Sir Robert Welsh any more to presume to come within his Presence, or into his Court, as a man unworthy of His Highness countenance or protection. And of this signification of His pleasure, His Highness requires the Officers of His House to take notice in such manner, that he be no more permitted to enter into any Room within His Highness power and disposal.
