To His Excellency the Lord General Monck, Captain General of all the Forces Of ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, and IRELAND.
The Humble Remonstrance and Address of the Officers of the Armies under Your Excel­lencies Command.

WEE the Officers of the Army under Your Excellencies Command, whose Names are hereunder written, being truly and deeply sensible of the merciful and [Page 6] wonderful Providence of Almighty God in bringing us after so many Revolutions and Changes into an hopeful way of Settlement; And perceiving to our great grief; that there are too many, who seeking more their own Pri­vate Interest than the Publick Good, are endea­vouring to reduce us again to our old Necessi­ties & Confusions, and that they have proceeded so far as to cause Jealousies in the Council of State, in whom the Supream Power and Trust now, till the meeting of the Parliament, is resi­ding; Do hold it our Duties for the prevent­ing of all such Jealousies for the future, and for the strengthening of Your Excellencies Hands in the carrying on of this good work, in which it hath pleased God to make you so highly In­strumental, humbly to make this Address unto Your Excellency, in the name of our selves and all the Souldiers under our Commands, and to Declare, That we shall, according to our Du­ties, carry and behave our selves as Officers of an Army instructed by Your Example and Discipline, to obey and not dispute the Orders of our Superiours, and shall freely and readily observe such Commands as we shall receive from [Page 7] Your Excellency, or the Council of State, or the Parliament when Assembled: And in particu­lar we shall, according to the late Proclamation of the Council of State of March 17. decline any meeting or meetings for the contriving or carrying on of any Declaration or Subscriptions concerning Affairs of State or Government, thereby avoiding those mischiefs which made many lately in Armes so justly distasteful to the People, by making themselves a divided Inte­rest from the rest of them. And we are the more willing to make this Address at this time, to evince to all the world the Integrity of our Obedience, because of the great expectation of the next Parliament, from whom we hope for an happy Settlement to all the Nations; And that they may have no ill apprehensions of us, we are resolv'd, as it becomes us in duty, to sub­mit to whatsoever the Lord shall bring forth from their Consultations, knowing that Parlia­ments onely can secure us in our Religious and Civil Rights. And forasmuch as many Repre­sentations heretofore made to Persons in emi­nent Authority have been too frequently con­trived in the Name of the Army, which were [Page 8] done rather in formality (as we perceive by the event) than otherwise, we do solemnly de­sire that this may be Recorded as a Testimony and Witness against Us, if ever we shall be guilty of any such Backslidings.

[Page 15] THe Reader may be pleased to take notice, That the reason why the Subscriptions in some Regiments are not compleat, is because the Officers were not present at their Com­mands at the time of the Subscriptions; as al­so, that several Officers of the Armies being present at St. James's at the presenting of this Remonstrance, although the Subscriptions of their Regiments were not here, would not o­mit to testifie their affections by subscribing with their Fellows that had set their hands to this great Roll; and do intend in the respe­ctive Subscriptions of their particular Regi­ments to renew the action of obedience: which all the Regiments, to whom it hath been com­municated, do concur in, and are now prepa­ring their Addresses.
