destruction of this excellent Monarchy and with it of the true Reformed Protestant Religion which had been so long protected by it and flourished under it found it necessary in order to the carrying on of their pernicious and traiterous designs to throw down all the Bullwarks and Fences of Law and to subvert the very being and constitution of Parliament that so they might at last make their way open for any further attempts upon the Sacred Person of His Majesty himself And that for the more easie effecting thereof they did first seduce some part of the then Army into a compliance and then kept the rest in subjection to them partly for hopes of preferment and chiefly for fear of losing their imployments and arrears until by these and other more odious arts and devices they had fully strengthened themselves both in Power and Faction which being done they did declare against all manner of Treaties with the Person of the King even then while a Treaty by advice of both Houses of Parliament was in being Remonstrate against the Houses of Parliament for such proceedings seize upon His Royal Person while the Commissioners were returned to the House of Parliament with His Answer

it whereupon their rage and fury increasing they presume to pass it alone as an Act of the Commons and in the name of the Commons of England and having gained the pretence of Law made by a power of their own making pursue it with all possible force and cruelty until at last upon the Thirtieth day of January One thousand six hundred forty and eight His Sacred Majesty was brought unto a Scaffold
