English Civil War Ordinance on Fast Days and Swedish Alliance
The document records an ordinance setting cleaning days and peace propers on Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays, with Parliament agreeing to send to Sweden to declare unity. It recounts a letter from Lit Weller on ammunition and a plan to borrow 20000 pounds from Excise. It also describes Fairfax’s victory near Selby, capturing prisoners, artillery, and riders, and a national day of thanksgiving planned for the triumph.
