An Order of His Excellencie Sir Tho. Fairfax, General of the Forces raised by the Parliament, in pursuance of the Order aforesaid.

WHereas it hath pleased the honourable House of Commons, by their Order of the twenty eighth of June last past, to recommend unto me, That an effectual course may be taken that no Discouragement or Obstruction may be given by the Souldiers to the due levying and bringing in the Excise and other Assessements and Payments to the Parliament: And to the end that such Obstructions may be prevented, I do hereby require all Officers and Souldiers of the Amy under my Command, that they do not in any kinde discourage or obstruct the due levying and bringing in of the Excise and other Assessements and Payments to the Parliament. And if any Of­ficers or Souldiers shall notwithstanding go about to hinder or obstruct the same, I do hereby require the Officer commanding in chief at present, the Troop, Com­pany or Regiment, in those parts where such Obstruction shall be given, to send the Officers or Souldiers so offending in Custodie to the Head-Quarter, that they may be proceeded against for their Contempt of this Order. And in case of any tumultuous carriage by any persons, tending to the obstructing the due levying of Excise and Payments, as aforesaid; the said Officers and Souldiers are to be aiding and assisting for the suppressing of the same.

T. FAIRFAX.
