Regis An Act for the Attainder of several Persons guilty of the Horrid Murther of his late Sacred Majestie King CHARLES the First IN all humble manner shew unto Your most Excellent Majestie Your Majesties most dutifull and loyall Subjects the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled That the Horrid and Execrable Murther of Your Majesties Royal Father our late most Gracious Soveraign Charles the First of ever blessed and glorious memory hath been committed by a party of wretched men desperately wicked and hardened in their impiety who having first plotted and contrived the ruine and 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 and when His Concessions had been Voted a ground for â—eace seize upon the House of Commons seclude and imprison some Members force out others and there being left but a small remnant of their own Creatures not a tenth part of the whole did seek to shelter themselves by this weak pretence under the name and authority of a Parliament and in that name laboâ—red to prosecute what was yet behinde and unfinished of their long intended Treason and Conâ—piracy 〈…〉 pâ—â—pose they prepared an Ordinance for erecting la wâ—dâ—gious and unheard of Tribunal which they called An High Court of Justices for Tâ—yal of His Majesty and having easiâ— procurâ—â— it to pass in their House of Commons as it then stood moulded ventured to send it up from thence to the Peers then sitting who totally rejected 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 and there publickly Murthered before the Gates of His own Royal Palace And because by this horrid action the Protestant Religion hath received the greatest wound and reproach and the People of England the most insupportable shame and infamy that it was possible for the enemies of God and the King to bring upon uswhilst the Fanatick Rage of a few Miscreants who were as far from being true Protestants as they were from being true Subjects stands imputed by our Adversaries to the whole Nation We therefore your Majesties said Dutiful and Loyal Subjects the Lords and Commons in Parliament
