To make your Charles Europe's most glorious King.
The form of taking the Covenant, June 1643.
Did you for this Lift up your hands on high,
To kill the King, and pluck down Monarchy?
These are the fruits by your wild faction sown,
Which not imputed are, but born your own:
For though you wisely seem to wash your hands,
The guilt on every vote and order stands;
So that convinc'd, from all you did before,
80Justice must lay the murder at your door.
