PAPERS FROM THE ARMY  

SIR,  
I Believe before this will have the happiness to come to your hands, you will hear that the King is come to Newmarket, which intelligence may unto you in respect of distance of place forerun that which was precedent in point of time, viz.  
The Declaration of the Army which by the next you will receive at large. At the last Randezvouz the Soldiery entered into a solemn Engagement, and a kind of League, which tends only to get grievances redressed, at which time we understood not that the Parl. had proceeded so fare, as we since are advertized they have, for had the Army received certain knowledge of the late Declaration upon the Oroinance of Indemnity, and some other things, there had at least been something altered, if not left out of the papers which were then agreed on, and since presented to the House.  
On Wednesday last his Maj. attended with two Regiments of horse went from the L. Cuts her house near Cambridge to Newmarket, where his Maj. did earnestly desire to reside, for though he saith, he was carried from Holmby against his mind, yet would he not return thither again, except he were forced. Whereupon the Gen. desired to be advertised by the Commissioners, who were all sensible of the inconveniency of the place wherein his Maj. now resided; yet said, they could not give any advice in this business, for that their powhr was extinct at his Majesty's being taken away from Holmby, and after some further debate between the Commissioners, and his Excellency Sir T. Fairfax the said Commissioners showing an approbation to his Maj. removal to Newmarket, & his Excellency gave order to Col. whaley, as followeth:  
Col. whaley, I desire you to attend his Maj. and the Commissioners with your own Regiment and the Lieutenant Generals to Newmarket.  
Given under my hand at Cambridge, June 8. 1647. T. FAIRFAX.   

Another Letter from the Army.  
SIR,  
AT his Majesty's coming to Newmarket, by the way as he marched thither from the Lady Cuts house, in some Villages as he passed, the people strewed the ways with boughs, green rushes, and the like, making some acclamations of joy.  
The Earl of Nottingham and all the rest of The Commissioners from the Parliament are expected at Cambridge this night, and the General hath appointed a Randezvouz of the whole army on Triple Heath to morrow where the whole matter of the proceeding of the Army will be set forth to the Commissioners: there hath been great question made about the Kings being fetched from Holmby, and some have not stuck to tell Cornet Joyce that he deserves to lose that about his shoulders, for presuming to act what he did in that business, the whole matter being examined before his Maj. and the Commissioners.  
The General fearing some inconveniency might happen, in case his Majesty went through Cambridge, sent to Colonel whaley as he was on his march, to go some other way, which was done accordingly, and His Majesty and the Commissioners came safely thither the same night, where they found all things prepared, (as the time would admit) for entertainment of persons of that quality.  
Cambridge June 7. 1647. at 9 at night. Yours, J. H.   

Certain Heads of the Soldier's Declaration and Propositions, whereof the Papers at large were sent up to the House, enclosed in a Letter from Sir Thomas Fairfax on Monday last.  
FIrst, that they have with great hazard and difficulty faithfully discharged their duties (as soldiers) to this Kingdom in its greatest extremity. 2. That they desire to prevent future inconveniencies, and that there may be peace in the Kingdom.  
3. That their grievances being redressed, they shall willingly and readily disband, or be otherwise disposed of, according to the pleasure of the two Houses of Parliament.  
4. That what hath been already acted by them this way, is for the good of the Kingdom, and their own safety.  
5. That what was agreed upon, as the Resalt of the whole Army, they will not receded from, but that it shall be binding as the unanimous act of every man.  
But more particularly the Declaration and Engagement of the army, unanimously agreed on, is in these words, viz.  
WHereas upon the Report made to the house of Commons' on Friday May 21. concerning the grievances of the Army. That house was pleased to pass several Votes seeming to tend towards the satisfaction of the Army in some particulars, and on the Tnesday following May 25 to pass divers Resolutions upon a Report from the Committee at Derby house, concerning the disbanding of the fo●● of this Army, We humbly declare, that the said Votes of Friday do come far short of satisfaction to the desires proposed by the Officers in the conclusion of their Narrative.  
On Monday last, the General protested as in the presence of Almighty God, that for his own part he knew not of the design of bringing the King from Holmby, until notice thereof came from the Randezvouze.   
FINIS.
