THE HUMBLE ADDRESS. of the AGITATORS of the ARMY To His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax. Presented the 14. of AUGUST. On behalf of the Kingdom and the Army, etc.  
May it please your Excellency,  
THe continued destructive designs and dangerous Combinations of perfidious men, formerly Members of Parliament, which constantly blast the fairest hopes and expectations of Peace and Freedom, rendering all our endeavours and hazards of our lives fruitless, and at present threatening the ruin and desolation of this poor distracted Kingdom, constrains us once more to address ourselves to Your Excellency, to improve the present opportunity that Providence hath put into your hands, of making them incapable of prosecuting their mischievous purposes; being fully confident that though their former treacheries were more obscure and intricate; yet their late unparallelled proceed in violating the free legal Parliament, and USURPING A PARLIAMENTARY POWER, on purpose to have embroiled this miserable (and almost, still, bleeding) Nation, again in blood, cries aloud to Justice to remove them from their USURPED, DESTRUCTIVE POWER.  
Seeing therefore those Honourable Members of Parliament that discharged their trust, have been forced to fly to this Army for refuge; that they might endeavour to secure them to sit as a free and legal Parliament, and your Excellency with this Army have engaged themselves to improve the utmost of your possibilities to that intent; and seeing those worthy Members are now again disenabled for discharging their Trust, through the UNEXPECTED INTRUSION OF THOSE USURPERS, and their assuming to themselves a Power of voting amongst them, whereby those desperate enemies to the Kingdom's peace and welfare, do again obscure and pervert the true Parliamentary power, and imprint the Image of that highest Authority upon their own designs, protecting themselves and their Accomplices from justice.  
We cannot but humbly and earnestly implore your Excellency, That those Usurpers of that supreme Authority might not be permitted (even contrary to the Law of nature) to sit judges of their own prodigious Treacheries. But that all and every person, that have sat in that pretended Parliament, or adhered to them or their Votes, when the free legal Parliament was by violence suspended, might immediately be declared against, as persons uncapable of sitting or voting in this Parliament; That so according to our last Declaration, and our former Proposals tendered to your Excellency for that end, we might secure that free and legal Parliament, till the differences of the Kingdom be composed, and the Peace and Liberties of the people firmly established.   

THE PROPOSALS of the AGITATORS To His Excellency at Hammersmith, the 5. of AUGUST, 1647.  
Before the free Parliaments return to WESTMINSTER.  
FOrasmuch, as your Excellency with the Council of War, by their Representations and Declarations have referred the Composure of differences; And the Establishment of the Peace and happiness of the whole nation to a free Parliament. We being very sensible, that the ends of all our labours, and manifold hazards of our lives are now depending thereupon; And of how dangerous a Concernment it may prove, if persons dis-affected to the peace and welfare of the Kingdom, should retain places therein; do humbly offer to your Excellency's Consideration, To be by you presented to the Members of Parliament, now Resident in the Army.  
FIrst, That all those who have sat at Westminster usurping a Parliamentary Authority, since the Tumultuous and forcible expulsion of the Parliament of England, and choice of new pretended Speakers (thereby giving encouragement and assistance to the City of London to raise a new War in this Kingdom) may immediately be excluded the Houses.  
Secondly, that all which formerly have been Members of Parliament, and have adhered to the pretended Parliament, may be also Excluded the Houses; And a Penalty agreed upon, to be imposed upon such person, or persons, appearing guilty, that shall presume to fit after the said Exclusion.  
Lastly, that all former Votes against Members dis-affected may be duly Executed.
