The Humble PROPOSALS Of the ADIUTATORS IN THE ARMY Presented To His Excellency Sir Tho: Fairfax, Concerning divers that suffer in matters concerning the KING.  
May it please your Excellency,  
HAving received information from some persons of good affections, and fidelity to the Army, and Kingdom, that several persons, are now under unmerciful sufferings, by confiscating their goods, and Imprisonment of their persons, for words spoken against the King (acting in His Tyrannical practices in the late War they having been Soldiers).  
We being made sensible of their misery, not knowing how soon it may be our own condition, there as yet being no provision for their, or our own indemnity.  
For want of which our Enemies have so great advantage of all the well-affected in the Kingdom, That if not timely remedied they will recover more upon our words, than we of them by our swords.  
We are engaged to supplicate your Excellency in the behalf of these Prisoners, named in this enclosed paper, that you would be pleased to use some means for the restoring them to their freedom, and to deliver them from their Tyrannical sufferings, according as your Excellency shall find agreeable to justice, and reason.
