5. That the Army be furnished with Coals in a Regular way, and not at the pleasure of the Souldiers, which is especially recommended to the care of the Scotch Commissioners.
6. That there be a provision of Forrage at the prices to be set down in a Table, which must also contain the particular prices of all sort of Victuals, and other necessaries for the Army, to be indifferently agreed upon by persons nominated on both sides.
7. That the Sea-Ports be opened, and there be free Trade and Commerce by Sea and Land, as in the time of Peace; with this Proviso, that with the Victuals, no Armes nor Ammunition be imported into Newcastle, or any Harbour of England, and this Free Trade and Commerce to be presently intimated, and not to be interrupted, but upon the warning of three Months, that there may be a sufficient time allowed for Ships to return, and for the disposing of their Commodities.
8. That the Victuals and other Necessaries for the Army be free of Custome; And that his Majesties Custome of Coals, and other Ware, be left free to be levyed by his own Officers.
9. That all restraints be removed, and that there be a freedem to furnish necessaries for both Armies, in such sort as is agreed on by the Articles, and liberty be granted for Milling, Brewing, Baking, and other things of that kind.
10. That the Arrears be completely paid to Octob. 16, and that such rents as are anticipate, and not yet due, be allowed in the Arrears.
11. That there be a Cessation of Armes, according to the particulars to be agreed upon.
12. As for securing the summ of £850 per diem above specified, there is a Committee appointed by the Great Council of the Peers, who have power to Treat with Northumberland, the Bishoprick of Durham, Newcastle, and (if need require) with other adjacent Counties, that there may be a real performance of what is agreed on by us: And for that we find many Difficulties of raising the Contribution out of the Counties of Northumberland, the Bishoprick, and Town of Newcastle, we have thought fit and necessary to add unto them the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, to assist towards the said Contribution according to their abilities.
13. And further, the Lords will before their going from York settle a Committee who shall have charge to see the Contribution orderly raised and paid; and that there shall likewise be a Committee nominated of the Lords Commissioners, to whom either the Scotch Commissioners may address, or the Committees of the Countrey may Weekly give an Accompt of the carriage of the business. And that from thence there may further Order be given for the due performance of that which is promised.
