THE INTENTIONS OF THE ARMY Concerning The KING'S Majesty, for estating Him in His Rights.  
Right Honourable,  
FRom what you may gather from the proceed of the Army; and by weighing all their Proposals, Desires, Motions, you may find the Intentions of this Army, to be much tending to a hoped for peace, in regard that they aim not to bear up any one party for sinister ends, but that every one may enjoy their just Rights, Privileges, and the Liberties, and the kingdom, in a settled peace.  
Nor can any say that they have sought, or do seek themselves in regard they have so clearly manifested to the world the contrary, as may appear in many particulars.  
To instance only the great delay of monies for their subsistence, though so many months behind of pay, and are constrained to freequarter, and have allowance so much as to buy them clothes, hose, shoes or any thing, though the Winter so near approached.  
They seek not places for themselves in the civil affairs of the Kingdom, not to get the wealth of the Kingdom into their hands but only desire subsistence, whilst they are in the Kingdom's service.  
They desire that the King may have what is rightly his, and that we should do one to another as we would be done by.  
They would His Majesty to be allowed the benefit of enjoying His Wife, and Children, and such other Rights as are truly His.  
That the Parliament may enjoy all their just Privileges, freely, and such power as of right belongs to them, to execute that trust reposed in them,  
And that all Subjects may enjoy their just Liberties, and rights in freedom and safety.  
For Your Lordships further satisfaction, I have sent your Lordships these following heads of their Intentions, which I have collected.  

I.  
That such things as are necessary for securing the Rights and Liberties of the people; and the just privileges of a free Parliament, and for settling the Militia, and peace of the Kingdom, may be presented to the King, by Bill, or Ordinance of Parliament, for the Royal assent.   

II.  
That the said Propositions being tendered to his Majesty, and He shall have given his concurrence for settling the Rights, Liberties, and Peace of the Kingdom, that then the Rights, Liberties, and peace of the kingdom, That then the Rights of the King's Majesty, the Queen, the Prince, the Duke of York, and the rest of the Royal posterity may be considered of.   

III.  
That the Rights of His Majesty, and His Posterity may be settled by Act of Parliament, in all things, so fare as may consist with the Right and Freedom of the Subject, And with the security of the same for the future.   

FOUR  
That a general Act of Oblivion may be passed, for the pardoniong of all persons for all acts or hostility, trespasses misdemenopurs and other actions done ion prosecution of the late unhappy War, between the King and the Parliament, and to free all persons (those expressed in the Propositions only excepted) from all troubles, suits,; or prejudice which shall be brought against them for the same; And to restore them to all Privileges, and Rights, belonging to them as Subjects, provided, that no Subjects that have been in Hostility against the Parliament in the late War, shall be capable of bearing any office of power, or public trust in the Commonwealth, during the space of five years, without consent of Parliament, or such power as they shall appoint.   

V  
That His Majesty's person may be restored to a condition of safety, honour, and freedom, without diminution to his personal Rights, or limitation beyond the right exercise of the Regal power.   

VI  
That the Queen's Majesty may have liberty to come over into England, to enjoy her personal Rights, with safety, honour, and freedom, provided, that nothing be done to the prejudice of the Rights, Liberties, Peace, and safety of the Kingdom.

That His Highness' Prince Charles, and the rest of the King's Children, may be restored to all their personal rights in this Kingdom, in safety, honour, and freedom.
