IX. Resolved, That if the Army do not unhouse, molest, or disturb us, that we assume our former authority and make them our slaves to fight our Battels as formerly, while we enjoy the fat of the Land, for it is a great grief of heart to us, and a quenching of the spirit, to be awed as servants that formerly ruled as Princes.

Advertisement to the Soldiery.  
TAke notice that there is no way left in this sad dispensation of Tyranny to the whole Nation of England, to represent their grievances, but with the hazard of their lives, to throw them about in a clandestine way, and the Tyrants fearing that these Discoverers in the end may rouse up the generous thoughts of forlorn English souls amongst you( have in imitation of mohammed, who forbade all sort of Learning, lest the wickedness of his Law should be found out) made an Act that you shall not prie into those Papers that display the groans of their afflicted Country, and intend to continue you still the instruments of their lusts; which how glorious it is to have the infamous titles of Executioners and Hangmen of your Fellow-brethren, I leave to the meanest of you all to judge.  
FINIS.
