That the present King Charles King of England Scotland c. when he was Prince of Wales did maintain correspondency with the then Pope of Rome by letters wherein he stiled him the most holy Father chatholick Majesty thrice honoured Lord and Father professing that he did not esteem it a greater honour to be discended from great Princes then to imitate them in their great piety having exposed their Estates lives for the exaltation of the holy Cheir esteeming the protestant Religion but a novelty faction engaging himself by promise to the Pope that he would imploy himself for the time to come to have but one Religion viz. the Roman Catholique that he would spare nothing that he had in the world but that he was resolved to suffer all manner of discommodities even to the hazarding of his Estate and life for a thing so pleasing unto God as the advancement of the Romish Religion 2. That the said King hath taken two solemn Oaths upon both his Treaties of Marriage with Spain and France to protect and maintain to the utmost throughout his Dominions the Romish Catholique Church and Religion yea to suspend and abrogate all Lawes against them and is thereby deeply engaged by vertue of these Oaths to protect favour and defend the same and in Conscience of these Oaths and Articles consented unto in the said matches he holds himself bound what ever his outward Protestations and pretences be to side with the Roman Catholique Subjects both in England Ireland and Scotland and arme them against his Protestant Subjects and Parliaments in all the 3.

The said King did permit the Papists Priests and Jesuits during the Scottish troubles a little before the begining of this Parliament to call a Parliament and generall Councel of state among themselves even in London wherein the Popes own Nuncio sate president in which Parliament the chief papists out of all parts of England and Wales assembled made severall Lawes and Ordinances for imposing taxes and raising monies upon all Roman Catholiques for maintenance of the Scottish Warres which were seconded with the Queenes own letters and instructions to the Catholiques reciting what great liberties and favours her Highnesse had procured for them from his Majesty exciting them to a liberall contribution towards those Warres and this popish Parliament was permitted without interruption when the Protestants and Kingdom might hold none at all or at least are presently dissolved in discontents and the Popes own Nuncio sit Lord President to rule the rost which Parliament was thus openly tolerated to be held to make and maintain a Warre against the religious Protestant Subjects EVEN WITH THE KINGS OWN ACTUALL CONSENT 5.
