Thomas Fairfax, Sir Thomas Fairfax to the Speaker… (1646)
“ I shall take leave to put you again in mind of the reducement of major-general Massey's horse; which I do the rather, because they have made a most dishonourable breach upon the articles of Worcester, by plundering and violating those that marched out of that city, and yet the regiment appointed to that service I did always take (and still do) to be the best of the whole; but besides, I am advertised that those who are quartered west do commit great robberies and insolencies in those parts. ”
