May 20. was the same day that the most honourable House of Peers ordered the Solemn League and Covenant it self to be burned by the hand of the common Hangman the Order it self is in haec verba Die Lunae 20.

And that the said Covenant be forthwith taken off the Record in the House of Peers and in all other Courts and places where the same is Recorded And that all Copies thereof be taken down out of all Churches Chappels and other publick places in England and Wales and in the Town of Barwick upon Tweed where the same are set up May 22.
