Commissioner and by the Lords of his M. Counsell and by them commanded to be subscribed by all the Subjects of the Kingdome as a Testimony of our duty to God and the King by him was it still called Ungodly Damnable Treasonable by him were Oaths invented and pressed upon divers of our poore Countrey-men upon the pain of imprisonment and many miseries which were unwarrantable by Law and contrary their Nationall Oath When our Commissioners did appeare to render the reasons of our demands he spared not in the presence of the king and Committee to raile against our Nationall Assembly as not daring to appeare before the World and Kirkes abroad where himselfe and his Actions were able to endure tryall and against our just and necessary defence as the most malicious and Treasonable Contempt of Monarchicall Government that any by-gone age had heard of His hand also was at the Warrant for the restraint and imprisonment of our Commissioners sent from the Parliament warranted by the King and seeking the peace of the Kingdomes When we had by our Declarations Remonstrances Representations manifested the truth of our intentions and lawfulnesse of our Actions to all the good Subjects of the Kingdome of England when the late Parliament could not be moved to assist or enter in warre against us maintaining our Religion and Liberties Canterbury did not onely advise the breaking up of that high and honourable Court to the great griefe
