assure us if we understand them they would never alter Yea we hold our selves bound in duty to God Religion the King Parliament and Kingdome to professe before God Angels and men That we verily beleeve that which is so much feared to be now in agitation the taking away the life of the King in the present way of Trial is not only not agreeable to any Word of God the principles of the Protestant Religion never yet stained with the least drop of bloud of a King or the fundamentall constitution and government of this Kingdom but contrary to them as also to the Oath of Allegiance the Protestation of May 5. 1641. and the solemn League and Covenant from all or any of which Engagements we know not any power on earth able to absolve us or others In which last we have sworn with hands lifted up to the most high God That we shall with sincerity reality and constancy in our severall vocations endeavour with our estates and lives mutually to preserve and defend the Rights and Priviledges of the Parliaments and the liberties of the Kingdomes and to preserve and defend the Kings Majesties Person and Authority in the defence of the true Religion and Liberties of the Kingdomes That the world may bear witnesse with our consciences of our Loyalty and that we have no thoughts our intentions to diminish his Majesties just power and greatnesse And we are yet further tied by another Article of the same Covenant Not to suffer our selves directly or indirectly by whatsoever combination perswasion or terrour to be divided or withdrawn from this blessed union and conjunction whether to make defection to the contrary party or to give our selves to a detestable indifferency or neutrality in this Cause which so much concerns the glory of God the good of the Kingdomes and honour of the King but shall all the daies of our lives Zealously and constantly continue therein against all opposition and promote the same according to our power against all lets and impediments whatsoever And this we have not only taken ourselves but most of us have by command of the Parliament administred it to others whom we have thereby drawn in to be as deep as our selves in this publike engagement Therefore According to that our Covenant we doe in the Name of the great God to whom all must give a strict account warn and exhort all who either more immediatly belong to our respective charges or any way depend on our Ministry or to whom we have administred the said Covenant that we may not by our silence suffer them to run upon that highly provoking sin of Perjury to keep close to the waies of God and the rules of Religion the Laws and their Vows in their constant maintaining the true Reformed Religion the fundamentall Constitution and Government of this Kingdome not suffering themselves to be seduced from it by being drawn in to subscribe the late Models or Agreement of the people * Declared by both Houses for the substance of it to be Destructive to the being of Parliaments and to the fundamentall Government of the Kingdom in Decemb. 1647 yea condemned heretofore by the General and his Councel of Warre and one of the souldiers shot to d●a●h for promoting it which directly tends to the utter subversion of the whole frame of the fundamentall government of the Land and makes way for an universall toleration of all heresies and blasphemies directly contrary to our Covenant if they can but get their Abettors to cover them under a false guise of the Christian Religion as also in preserving the Priviledges of both Houses of Parliament and the Union between the two Nations of England and Scotland to mourn bitterly for their own sins the sins of the City Army Parliament and Kingdome and the wofull miscarriages of the King himself which we cannot but acknowledge to be many and very great in his Government that have cost the three Kingdomes so dear and cast him down from his Excellency into an horrid pit of misery almost beyond example And to pray that God would both give him effectuall repentance and sanctify that bitter cup of Divine Displeasure that the Divine providence hath put into his hand as also that God would restrain the violence of men that they may not dare to draw upon themselves and the Kingdome the bloud of their Soveraign And now we have good reason to expect that they who brought us under such a bond and thereby led us into the necessity of this present Vindication and manifestation of our judgements and discharge of our consciences should defend us in it However we resolve rather to be of their number that tremble at his Terrours who is a consuming fire and will not fail to avenge the quarell of his Covenant upon all that contemn it then to be found among those who despise the Oath by breaking his Covenant after lifting up the hand although it had been made but in Civil things only Lev. 26.
