Turbulent London Commons Debate on Mutiny and Army Affairs
A distorted 17th century report describes the Committee of Territory handling a mutiny and the election of officers. Colonel Thorncagh receives horses as reward for service to the State. Fairfax’s army is to be humiliated in London, with prayers for peace in Scotland. Leicester garrison funds and arrears are ordered to support defenses and disband forces in related counties. The piece laments enemy threats and praises divine protection of the army.
