To the Honourable the COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED . The humble Petition of the Reduced Officers and Souldiers intrusted on the behalfe of the subscribers of a late Petition presented to this Honourable House . Sheweth ,

THat their deep sence of those uncessant and endlesse clamours that did attend your Honours , the extream Pennury and thraldome of their fellow Officers and Souldiers , and your Honours willingnesse to remove the same ( exprest by your severall Notes and Orders ) encouraged them to contrive such a way for their present subsistance , and future satisfaction , as they humbly conceived might be most effectuall to those ends , and least prejudiciall or obstructive to the grand affaires of this Kingdome , which being referred to a select Committee , was after severall debates approved on , then the particular heads twice read in this Honourable House , first Committed and at last past , and ordered that an Ordinance should be brought in , in pursuance thereof , which respective considerations has invited your Petitioners , to an Elaborate and expensive attendance , wherein , if they shall be longer delayed they must inevitably be ruined and the rest perish , And left their silence might argue a guilt , they have thought fit to take notice of some un-merited prejudices , that are thrown upon them by converting the prosecution of their honest intention , into a dishonest and destructive designe , wherein they presume the said Committee will give sufficient Testimony of their Candid affections , and constant Honor to this House , expressed by their Civilityes in all their Addresses to them .

The premises your Petitioners humbly submit to your Honours consideration and therefore pray That you would no longer prerogue the passing of the Ordinance , now before you , so as by vertue thereof , there may be an evident assurance to gaine the present advance of the hundred thousand pounds already voted to make up the three Moneths full pay , those indurance released and all protected , for prevention of those cruell and un-heard-of miseries that will otherwise of necessity acrue to the said Petitioner , whose inforced cryes and unpittyed sufferings . ( for want of their so dearly-deserved sallary ) cannot but attract some heavy judgments from the God of Justice on this whole Nation which wee dread to think on , it being in no humane power , but yours to divert and whereby you will perpetuate your former engagements on them which is the hearty Prayers of
