ACT Condemning the Transactions concerning the KINGS MAJESTY VVhilst He was at Newcastle in the years 1646. and 1647. At Edinburgh 20. February 1661. THe Estates of Parliament considering the many sad and dangerous consequences that do accompany the neglect and contempt of lawful Authority And that among the other Iudgements wherewith it pleaseth Almighty GOD to visit such who resist the Powers and oppose the commands of those intrusted by Him as His VICEGERENTS for the Government of His people they are oft-times left to their own counsels to do that which highly provokes GOD to wrath renders themselves justly odious to the world and hateful to their posterity Whereof there is too doolfull an experiment in an Act of the printed Records of Parliament of the si●teenth of January 1647. entituled Declaration of the Kingdom of Scotland concerning the KINGS MAJESTIES Person Which being now taken into consideration The Estates of Parliament do find and Declare That it was carried on and concluded by a prevalent party against the judgement of many of his Majesties Loyal Subjects And that it is a most sinful disloyal and unworthy Act contrary to the will and commandment of GOD contrary to all Laws Divine and Humane contrary to the Duty and Allegiance of Subjects contrary to all the rules of Justice Honour Gratitude and Humanity and highly reflecting on the honour of this ancient Kingdom and the reputation of his Majesties good Subjects therein And therefore the KINGS MAJESTIE with advice and consent of His Estates of Parliament doth hereby Annuall and Condemn the same for ever And ordains it to be expunged out of all Records and never to be remembred again but with due abhorrence and detestation And the Estates of Parliament conceiving themselves obliged in conscience to make the truth of this business and the manner of the carrying of it known to the World for the just vindication of this Kingdom and His Majesties Dutyfull and Loyal Subjects who otherwise may seem to be comprehended and concluded in it They do therefore from their certain knowledge declare That even in that Parliament from which many of his Majesties good Subjects were debarred for their affection and adherence to His Majesties service and commands there was a considerable number of worthy Patriots of all Estates who at the passing of that base Act gave a publick testimony and disassent from it Which is here recorded for their due honour And for which their memory will in all ages receive a famous celebration And that there were divers others who upon the pretexts of Reformation and assurances of the safety of His Majesties Person being inveigled were in the simplicity of their hearts drawn along for the time But shortly thereafter being convinced of their error did embrace the first opportunity to expiate the same by freely hazarding their lives and fortunes in the year 1648. to redeem His Majesty from these restraints and dangers which by that impious Act He was driven into And therefore His Majesty with advice and consent foresaid doth Declare that the Act of Parliament foresaid of the si●teenth of January 1647. is not to be look'd upon as the Deed of the Kingdom but as the Act of a few disloyal and seditious persons who having upon specious but false pretences screwed themselves into the Government did by force of Arms keep the same And from the conscience of their own guiltiness being afraid of the justice of His Majesties Government did violently carry on that Act. And in further owning thereof did in the said year 1648. rise in Arms in opposition to those who endeavoured to restore His Majestie to His Government and to relieve Him from the imprisonment and hazard he was then lying under as the natural effects of that unworthy transaction so justly hereby condemned And for the further clearing of the sence of this Kingdom as to that base and treacherous act and the aspersions which have been thereupon raised as if there had been previous Transactions and Bargains of money for carrying on of the same The Estates of Parliament declare They do abominate the very thought of any such thing and that if at any time hereafter there shall be discovery of any such wickedness which they are confident GOD Almighty will in His Iustice bring to light if it be true and wherein they earnestly entreat the concurrence of all His Majesties dutyful and loyal Subjects The persons guilty therof shall without mercy be pursued as the vildest of Traitors and shall be incapable of the benefit of any Act of Pardon Oblivion or Indempnity for ever A.
