N.B.—The pay of a private varied much from the openingof the Civil War to the Restoration, and occasionally that of thehigher ranks also. Thus for the garrison at Windsor Castle in 1654 the pay was—
Ensign	0	3	0
Sergeant	0	1	8
Corporal and Drummer	0	1	2
Private	0	0	10
but in 1655 a private's pay is set down at 9d. a day in England andScotland, and 8d. while in garrison (Cal. S. P., Dom.). But on theother hand from October 1653 onwards the men in Ireland received 9d. a day,or 5s. 3d. a week, of which 3s. 6d. was paid in cash, and the rest stopped;while on transfer to England they received 10d. a day, or 5s. 10d. a week,of which 5s. 1d. was paid in cash, and the rest stopped. (Thurloe, iii. 536.)
