To this Traiterous Ordinance the King Metu incarcerationis perpetuae compulsus est consentire for fear of perpetual imprisonment was inforced to give his Royal assent And for further security to be content to give it under the great Seal and upon Oath that whensoever he attempted to assume unto him his Regal power Liceat omnibus de Regno nostro contra nos insurgere Chron.
