A DECLARATION OF His Excellency Sr. Thomas Fairfax, and the Councell of Warre; Disclaiming A Pamphlet, Entituled, Heads presented by the Army to the Kings Majesty, on Saturday, June 19. 1647. &c.

WHEREAS we find a Pamphlet lately Printed and Published, bearing the Title of (Heads pre­sented by the Army to the Kings Ma­jesty, on Saturday, June 19. 1647.) [Page 4]though wee thinke it will of it selfe appeare such a confused Headlesse Piece, so surreptitiously crept forth, and in such a pure Pamphlet dresse, as (wee hope) it will gaine little be­liefe to our prejudice; yet to avoid any jealousies or doubtful thoughts which it might possibly breed in any honest minde, wee cannot but take notice of it, and for the vindi­cation of the Army, doe hereby declare, That the said Printed Pamphlet is most false, scandalous, and injurious to us, and this Ar­my; neither hath there been any such Paper presented to His Maje­sty by, or from this Army: And the same wee professe and declare with great detestation concerning another written Paper, whereof we [Page 5]had a Copy shewed to us yesterday by the Commissioners of the City, entituled, (Articles agreed upon be­tween the King and the Army, the 16. of June;) And wee desire all that wish well to this Army, or the King, or Parliament, or Peace of this Kingdome, that they would doe their best to finde out and dis­cover the Authors and Publishers of the said Paper and Pamphlet, or any thing else of that nature that may bee divulged concerning the Army, to interrupt or prejudice the present setling and composure of Affaires. And we hope it will not bee further needfull, or expected from us, that wee should give parti­cular Answer to every such scanda­lous Paper, which the malice of our [Page 6]Enemies may forge against us. But that what wee have published to the world in our Representation, and other papers avowed by us, may serve to cleare our intentions untill wee shall appeare to act something to the contrary.

By the appointment of his Ex­cellency Sir Tho. Fairfax, and his Councell of War. Signed, Jo. Rushworth.
