But when once the Superficial Zeal and Popular Fumes that acted their New Magistracy were cool'd, and spent in them; straight every one betook himself, setting the Commonwealth behind, and his Private Ends before, to do as his own Profit led him. Then was Justice delayed, and soon after denied; Spight and Favour determin'd all. Hence Faction, thence Treachery, both at Home and in the Field; every where Wrong and Oppression; foul and horrid Deeds committed daily, or maintain'd in secret or open. Milton ' s Character of the Long Parliament, p. 2. For the Faith which ought to have been kept as Sacred and Inviolable as any thing Holy, the Publick Faith, after infinite Sums received, and all the Wealth of the Church not better employ'd, but swallowed up in a Private Gulph, was not e're long asham'd to confess Bankrupt. Ibid. p. 4.

Here the Power of the Army I once had, was usurped by Agitators, the Forerunners of Confusion and Anarchy. My Commission as General, obliged me to act with Counsel; but the Arbitrary and unlimited Power of this Council, would act without a General: And all I could do was ineffectual to oppose them; especially when the Parliament it self became divided. Sir T. Fairfax Mem. Ib. — The King's Removal from Holmby, the sad Consequences whereof fill my heart with Grief in the remembrance of them, as they did then with Care how to prevent them. Id. Ib.

For be you assur'd, the Romish Clergy have gull'd the misled Party of our Nation, and that under a Puritanical Dress; for which the several Fraternities of that Church have lately received Indulgences from the See of Rome, and Council of Cardinals, for to educate several of the Young Fry of the Church of Rome, who be Natives of his Majesty's Realms and Dominions, and instruct them in all manner of Tenents, contrary to the Episcopacy of the Church of England. — For which purpose above Sixty Romish Clergymen are gone, within these Two Years, out of the Monasteries of the French King's Dominions, to Preach up the Scotch Covenant. Sir Wil. Boswel ' s Letter to Archbishop Laud. Archb. Usher ' s Letters, Append. p. 27.

Then some of the mercifullest of the Romanists said, This cannot be done, unless the King dye: Upon which Argument the Romish Orders thus licensed, and in the Parliament Army, wrote unto their several Convents, but especially unto the Sorbonists, Whether it may be scrupled to make away our late Godly King and Master; who, blessed be God, had escaped their Romish Snares laid for him? It was return'd from the Sorbonists, That it was lawful for Roman - Catholicks to work Changes in Governments for the Mother Church's Advancement, and chiefly in an Heretical Kingdom, and so lawful to make away the King.

— Nor other Byass of selfends, or respects whatsoever, did move us thus to declare our selves, but the Conscience of the many Oaths of God, in which the Parliament, You, We, and the generality of the well-affected in the Kingdom, indispensibly stand bound before God, Angels, and Men, that we desire to wash our Hands, as from the Blood of all men, so especially of our Dread Sovereign, and to approve our selves innocent of all that Blood and Misery, the deposing and taking away his Majesty's Life, will in our apprehension involve us, our Posterity, and all men professing Godliness in the Three Kingdoms. We do therefore from our Souls beseech and importune you, and every one of you, as Men, Gentlemen, and Christian Soldiers, by all that can be dear to good men, as you desire to render a good Account of your Actions at the Great Day, to the Righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth, That you will forbear doing ought in the Premises. — The humble Advice and Desires of the Ministers, Lecturers of Banbury and Brackley; Licensed Jan. 25. 1648. and the same day presented to the General and Council of War.
