A PROCLAMATION BY His Excellencie the Lord Generall, concerning FREE-QUARTER.

WHereas Information is given, that severall per­sons, not Souldiers, do pretend themselves to be Souldiers, and produce counterfeit Passes and Tickets for Quarter, and take Free-quarter where ever they come, to the great injury of the Nation, and dishonour of the Ar­my, (it being the desire and indeavour of the Army, that Free-quarter be speedily taken off in all places;) for re­medy whereof, all Souldiers are hereby required not to march from their Colours, and take Free-quarter without a Commission-Officer, and the Commission-Officer is not to require Free-quarter upon any Ticket or pretence whatsoever, untill he have first shewed his Commission for his place as an Officer in the Army, and given his name and the names of his Souldiers under his Conduct: And if any shall contrary hereunto offend, the Civil Of­ficers are desired to secure their persons, till such course be taken, as to the merit of their offences shall be thought fit by a Court-Martiall.

Given under my Hand and Seal in Queens-street the 20. day of February, 1648.

Imprimatur.
