THE Lord Dunbartons , sometime called Douglas's Regiment consists of Six and Twenty Companies , and by their continual Exercise and Service at Tangier , Holland , and other places abroad , they have been so improved in Military Discipline , that they are looked upon as one of the Largest and Ablest Regiments in the Kings Dominions ; but as they have Courage , so they always and in all Quarters they have come to , have been known for the most Rapacious Villinous Fellows in the whole Army , leaving in all places marks of their Barbarity and Roguery , so that in England especially , they have been looked upon by all People as the common Nusance and Grievance of the Kingdom ; and by their Pillaging Outrages , Robberies , and Murders , they are uttterly Detested and Abominated by all that have had the Misfortune to know them .

About two years agoe they raised a Disturbance even the City of London , near their Quarters at White Chappell , a while after at Ipswich in Suffolk , upon no reasonable pretence but their own Ravenous and Tumultuous Humours , they were after the present Kings coming to Town sent to Ipswich again to Quarter , and were designed by his Majesty , and the Honourable Parliament for the Service of our great Friends the States , but they being for sometime used to a Luxurious Idle Life in London , did not only seem to decline that Service but any other , under pretence of not having their Arrears paid them , whereupon his most Gracious Majesty forthwith Orders their full Arrears and Pay , ( but like true Villains ) they now finding that Excuse baulked , were resolved to raise another , and no sooner had they received their Pay , but they immediately Seize their own Officers binding and securing them , and drawing out they pretend to Declare for the late Abdicated King James , and offer great Violences to several of their Officers and others who endeavoured to perswade them quietly to lay down , and be quiet ; and fearing they should be too weak to stand the Force of the Country , they endeavour to force some Ships to Transport them to Scotland , to rase and foment Divisions in that Kingdonm , but Notice being sent to the Commanders of some of his Majesties Ships in the Port , Eight men of War presently drew out to attend their Motion , and the News being brought Yesterday to King and Parliament , Five Regiments were Ordered forthwith to March to reduce them , viz. The Lord Devonshires , two of Dutch Dragoons , and two others , and to Day it was moved in Parliament that they might forthwith be declared Rebels and exposed to the will of the Country , who no doubt will be glad of so good an Opportunity of Punishing such Rebellious Miscreants , and making them Examples to the other base Corrupted part of the late Kings Army , who by a long Discontinuance from Martial Discipline are so dissolved in Luxury and Debauchery , that they may more justly be called a Nest of Vagabonds and Cowards , than an Army of Valiant and truly honest Edglish-men .
