A PROCLAMATION BY His Excellency the Lord General .

WHereas information is given , that divers Soldiers of the Army have entered into the Houses of some Merchants , Citizens , and other inhabitants , in and about the Cities of London and Westminster , and there is an uncivil and disorderly manner exacting Mony and Victuals there , to their great injury , and the scandal of the Army , contrary to a Proclamation in that case formerly published ; These are therefore to will and require all Souldiers of the Army under my Command , upon pain of Death , that they do not enter into the Houses of any Merchant , Citizen , or others , in any forcible manner , or require of any persons any mony , victuals , or other provisions , unless it be in the Houses of Victualers , or other places where victuals are sold , and in such cases they are to go in a civil and orderly manner , and duly to pay for what they call ; And in case any Souldier shall , notwithstanding this Proclamation , offend , or otherwise misdemean themselves , I do then hereby require the Officers of the next Guard , upon complaint made unto them , to apprehend and secure the Souldiers so offending , and to bring them to Whitehall , together with the witnesses , that the offendors may be delt withal as to Justice shall be thought fit .

And whereas divers Souldiers , and some persons , who go in the name and habit of Souldiers , and pretend themselves to be of the Army , but are not , do seise upon persons who have been in Arms against the Parliament , and their goods , without order , ( for the preventing of these and other abuses for the future , ) I do further require all Officers and Souldiers of the Army under my Commana , That they do not presume to enter into the houses of any persons whatsoever ( unlesse for provision as aforesaid ) or to seize upon any persons whatsoever , unlesse they go by Warrant with a Commission Officer , and he and they give in their names of what Troop or Company , and in what Regiment they are , that so , if any abuse be offered , upon complaint from the person or persons so injured to the Court Marshall , all offendors shall be proceeded against according to Justice .

Given under my Hand and Seal in Queens-street the twelfth day of February , 1648. T. FAIRFAX .

To be proclaimed by sound of Trumpet in the Cities of London and Westminster .
