[Archibald Campbell, marquis of] Argyll's troop
Forasmuch as Archibald, marquis of Argyll is appointed to go along with the army as president of the committee of estates that goes forthwith, and whereas it is fitting that there should be some companies of horse ready to attend the committee and his lordship, and that a complete allowance be appointed to them, therefore the convention do declare that whatever gentlemen or any others will willingly furnish and provide themselves with horse and arms and attend the service aforesaid, they shall have pay according to the rest of the horsemen in the army, and their foot men, having snap guns and swords, shall have the pay of foot soldiers.
