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. Kingdoms of purpose to make good these his Oaths and Articles 3. That the said present King Charles since his coming to the Crown in prosecution of the aforesaid engagements to the Pope Church of Rome hath raised most bloody and unnaturall Warre against the Protestant cause and party in his Dominions in which he hath sustained many incommodities hazarded both his Estate Life and Realms for the reducing all his Subjects to one Religion viz. the Roman Catholique and upon this ground he hath issued out Proclamations Declarations Remonstrances against the Scots the former and present Parliament proclaimed them Traytors Rebells no Parliament a faction he brake up all former Parliaments since his Raign by discontinuance and endeavoured to dissolve this Parliament by the sword of Papists and Athiests against the very Act of Parliament assented unto by himself and the aforesaid engagements of the King to the Pope c. are the reall ground of the late horrid Irish Conspiracy Massacre Rebellion pacification toleration and the said Kings connivance at if not approbation of these horrid bloody execrable practices as also the extraordinary favour lately indulged to these carsed barborous Rebells by the King and his most gracious entertainment of them not only into his royall favour but Court Army and Realm of England as his securest Guard 4. 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. That the said King dissembling with God and men opposing Papists in words yet cherishing and protecting them all he may in deedes exhibited many royall orders ●xpresses letters of grace protection unto popish Recusants seminary Priests during all his raign to stay all manner of proceedings and executions of the Law against them contrary to the Judges and Justices Oaths and since this unhappy civill Warre the Papists both in England and in Ireland have been armed against the Parliament by the said Kings Cōmission yea put into places of great Command trust admitted free access to his Camp
Court where they have bin in favours and preserved from all violence injury c. notwithstanding his many printed Declarations Proclamations Protestations Vowes against Popery and Papists to blind and delude the over credulous vulgar and notwithstanding his brave real royal defence of the Protestant Religion so often promised the best and most zealous Protestants Ministers people both in England and Ireland have bin every where most cruelly massacred plundered tortured imprisoned ruined by the blood-thirsty Popish Cavaliers many of their Houses and almost whole Towns fired sackt by his speciall Commission 6. That the said King did admit Can the Popes legate and that under the very name notion and Authority of the Popes Legate into familiar accesse to and conference with him by all Arts Policier and Arguments to pervert and draw him with his 3. Kingdoms to a new subjection to the see of Rome as Cardinall Pool the Popes Legate extant in England before this in Queen Maries Raign reconciled her and the Realm to Rome to their intolerable prejudice an act so inconsistant to the Lawes of this Realm with the Kings ancient and late Remonstrances Oaths Protestations to maintain the Protestant Religion as may ever amaze the World which ever looks more at real actions then verball Protestations 7. That the King after Endimian Porter had gained the Custody of the great Seal of England did issue out divers Proclamations under the great Seal proclaiming the Parliament Traytors and Rebells yea did grant Commissions to Irish and English Papists contrary to his former Proclamations to raise Popish forces both at home and in forraign parts for his defence as his trustiest and most loyall Subjects and did send letters and Commissions of favour to the Irish Rebells and hinder all supply from hence to the Protestant party there 8. That the said King after the bloody Irish Rebells had destroyed the precious lives of above a hundred and forty Thousand Protestan●s in Ireland and were like to be overcome by the Parliaments Forces sent from hence and from Scotland to relieve the Prot●stant party condescended to Articles of pacification with these Rebells contrary to an Act of Parliament and both Houses consents wherein the said wicked Rebells are declared his Majesties good Catholick Subjects and no Rebells at all 9. That the said King did send for many thousands of the said Rebells into England to massacre the Protestant English here and fight against the Parliament as they did in Ireland heretofore Whereas it flyes up and down in the mouths of the over-credulous vulgar that Mr. Wil. Prinne since his admission into the Honourable House of Commons hath most petulently exclaimed against the Armies late Remonstrance wherein they desire Justice may be done against the King as the grand Delinquent of the Kingdom furiously env●ighed against the same as if he was newly become the Kings Advocate these therefore are to stop the current of such reports and to desire that men may deffen their eares thereunto considering that not only their tender care of the priviledges of Parl. requiring no notice to be taken of any mans Speech within these walles but also their respects and love unto Mr Prinns that hath written so much of the peoples and Kingdoms interest and power to call their Kings and Governours to accompt for their unjust wicked and tyrannicall Government doth require the same for if occasion be offered the present proceedings of the Army in requiring justice to be done upon the King and all other Delinquents as those that lately fomented second War invited the Scots into this Kingdome to that end c. shall be clearly fully convincingly asserted argu●d and maintained from the severall labours pains and writings of the said Anthem M● William Prinne FINIS Vide the 3d. part of the Soveraigue power of Parliaments kingdoms Page 83. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid. ibid.
