Yea, to my knowledge multitudes that are now firm and loyal to the present Power, supposing it to be set over us by God, (and therefore would abhor the like practises against them) do yet detest that fact that intervened and made way to it. So that experience may satisfy all men, that Protestants, even those called Puritans, were the Enemies, and not the Actors of it. 11. And it is well known how the Protestant Ministers that had engaged in the war for King and Parliament, were so great Adversaries to the putting of the King to death, that they opposed it, and dissuaded from it, and thereby drew the Odium of the Corrupted part of the Army upon them; and that the London Ministers unanimously concuered in an Address to ⟨p. 323⟩the Lord Fairfax to prevent it, and printed their abhorrence of it, and published it to the world: And that many of them were imprisoned, and Mr. Love beheaded, and many others put to death, or other sufferings, for being against these designs, and endeavouring to oppose the progress of them. 12. And lastly, it is known, that the Kingdom of Scotland disowned it from first to last, and so far proceeded in opposition to it, and in adhesion to the ancient line, as cost them the miseries of a grievous war, and a conquest of their Kingdom. I speak but of the matter of fact that is known to the world. So that it is against all humane Reason and Equity, that when we have all sworn to the contrary, and endeavoured it, and the Parliament men of one Kingdom are secluded, and Imprisoned for it, and the other Kingdom conquered for it, and the Protestants still generally disown it, that yet it should be charged on the Protestants, or their Religion, that they put to death their King. This is most unreasonable in justice; especially from those men that were the causers of it.
