N.B.—The pay of a private varied much from the opening of the Civil War to the Restoration, and occasionally that of the higher ranks also. Thus for the garrison at Windsor Castle in 1654 the pay was—
Ensign030
Sergeant018
Corporal and Drummer012
Private0010
but in 1655 a private's pay is set down at 9d. a day in England and Scotland, and 8d. while in garrison (Cal. S. P., Dom.). But on the other 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.)
