I do acknowledge that the Army hath been in the hand of God and instruments of good to these Nations , yet if they shall apostate from the Cause of God and his people in exposing them to Arbitrary Power , and the wills of men , in taking upon them to Abollish Lawes , raise money without consent of the people , destroy Ministery and property , and force Parliaments , I cannot but witness against such proceedings as unwarrantable not suted to any rule either from God or man .

  And We cannot give a better evidence that We are still of the same minde , then in this Conjuncture , when common reason must satisfie all men , that We cannot be without Assistance from abroad , We choose rather to send to you , who have it in your own power , to prevent that Ruine and Desolation which a War would bring upon the Nation , and to make the whole Kingdom owe the Peace , Happiness , Security and Glory it shall enjoy , to your vertue ; and to acknowledge that your Armies have complyed with their obligations , for which they were first raised , for the preservation of the Protestant Religion , the Honour and Dignity of the King , the Priviledges of Parliament , the Liberty and Property of the Subject , and the Fundamental Laws of the Land ; and that you have vindicated that Trust , which others most perfidiously abused and betrayed : How much we desire and resolve to contribute to those good Ends , will appear to you by Our enclosed DECLARATION , which We desire you to cause to be Published for the information and satisfaction of all good Subjects , who do not desire a further effusion of precious Christian Blood , but to have their Peace and Security founded upon that which can only support it ; an Unity of Affections amongst our selves , an equal administration of Justice to Men , restoring Parliaments to a ful capacity of providing for all that is amiss , and the Laws of the Land to their due veneration .

  A letter to General Monk, expressing the sense of many thousands of the well affected people of England. Old Parliamenters, and old Puritanes To the magnanimous and truly excellent Generall Monk.

summary:
  The King did lay to their charge that they had a design to alter the Ancient Governments of the Nation , and to let a flood of errours and heresies into the Church , and that thereupon he was forced to take up armes for his own defence , and the defence of Religion ; and now if these men do indeed alter the Government , as they intend to do ; and do set open a door to all Errors and Heresies , as they have begun to do ; do they not thereby justifie the King before God and men ( for whoever yet questioned but that it was lawful for a King to defend Religion , and his just Authority against those that seek to subvert them ) and do they not hereby bring upon themselves the guilt of all the blood that hath been shed in England , and we are very loath you should share with them in that guilt . These things make us fear ; but when we consider that these Declarations were made by you when you were in Scotland , or in the remotest parts of England , where you neither did nor could know the sense of the English Nation ; we hope that now God hath brought you among us , where you may hear the sighs and groans of your Brethren , and from our own mouthes understand what we groan under , and what we groan after , God may put other thoughts , and other resolutions into your heart then what you have yet published or declared to the world .

  The voice of the people for a king shewing the only way for the future settlement and peace of England, humbly presented to His Excellency the Lord General Monck / by Arise Evans.

summary:
  MY LORD , I shall not wrap my self in a cloud of high Eloquence , or be able to show your merits , I hope you are he that God hath raised , to make England again happy , yea , more happy then ever it was , which now is in a sad condition , under many miseries ; her once glorious Church and Kingdome , that shined in prosperity in the sight of all the world , troden under foot , Parliaments-priviledges violated , the peoples Liberties detained , their goods being spent through long paying Excise , Assesments , and such new devises to pole them , which never was known in England before , trading utterly gone , the one part of the Nation being imployed to destroy and eat up the other ; and of late no visible Authority ; and men kept under and kill'd for offering to shew their agrievances , and yet no visible hope of redemption , but of that which under God appears in you . And there must be in Christs Kingdome a perfect Law made for all occasion , and according to the Gospel , a Law that needeth not to be altered every foot , but it must be such a Law as nothing shall be added to it , or taken from it ; that every one may know his rule and the punishment of his errour , and the said Law must be truly and speedily executed upon the offenders , else it profiteth nothing , for so long as our Law is imperfect , and that our Parliaments are alwaies making and nulling Laws , we shall never be quiet or come to rest according to Gods promise which saith , Heb. 4. 9. there is a rest for the people of God , and the Lord is well pleased for his righteousnesse Lands and states in rich mens hands , and they could not deny it ? but told them in a bravado they would spend in law thousands before they should get it : and the poor knowing aforehand the course of the law was content to loose their Right , and it was wisdome in them so to do ; seeing their going to law will not relieve them , being sure it will make their condition worse ; what a sad thing is it for men to live under such a law , let all good just reasonable men judge , such doings are not to be in Christs Kingdome .

summary:
  SEeing it hath pleased God out of his gracious will and pleasure , to cause me to cast my Eye upon this Common-wealth of England , my native Country , ( and your three Kingdomes ; ) and viewing there , to behold the sad and lamentable condition , that now , and for many years past , it hath been intangled in ; which as Reason and Conscience together perswades me , is occasioned chiefly for want of its ancient and ever customed way of Government , ( to wir ) a King and Parliament , which hath been unsetled altogether amongst us , ever since the unhappy death of your Majesties late father our King ; by reason whereof , our ancient and accustomed wholesome Laws both of Church and State , are most strangely torn and massacred ; and all through the self-seeking ends of some certain persons , which at present I judge not fit herein to be communicated , who having gotten the power of the sword in their hands , thought for ever to rule and reign over their opposers ; ( I think in spight of God or man : ) Right honourable , HAving received notice , that there was a force put upon the Parliament on the twelfth of this instant , I have sent this Messenger to your Lordship , to know whether that force doth continue ; for I am resolved by the Grace and Assistance of GOD , as a true English-man , to stand to and assert the Liberty and Authority of PARLIAMENT ; And the Army here , ( praised be God ) is very couragious and unanimous , and I doubt not but to give a good accompt of this action to You.

summary:
  Some Observations what is the fittest strength for Armies to be of ; and what proportion of Horse and Foot , Dragooners , and Pioners , there ought to be in an Army . But where the Service of your Army shall be most in Sieges , there you ought to have three Footmen unto one Horseman ; and sometimes four Footmen to one Horseman , besides your Dragoons ; provided your Enemy be not able to over-master you in Horse .
