After reading and confidering several Paragraphs and Places therein, and Debate thereupon; it is Refolved and Declared, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament affembled, That the Book, or Pamphlet, intituled, “Animadverfions upon the Two laft Thirtieth of "January Sermons, one preached to the Honourable, "Houfe of Commons, the other to the Lower Houfe of "Convocation; in a Letter," is a malicious villainous Libel, containing very many Reflections on King Charles the First of ever bleffed Memory, and tending to the Subverfion of the Monarchy.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament affembled, That the Pamphlet, intituled, "Animadverfions on the Two laft Thirtieth of January "Sermons, one preached before the Honourable House of "Commons, the other to the Lower House of Convoca"tion; in a Letter," fhall be burnt, by the Hands of the common Hangman, in The Old Palace Yard, Weftminster, on Friday the Two and Twentieth Day of this Inftant May, between the Hours of One and Two of the Clock in the Afternoon of the fame Day.

of the Day: And here one would imagine, the "latter were refolved to take St. Paul's Expreffion in "the moft literal Senfe the Words will bear, and cru"cify to themselves the Lord afresh; and, in the "nearest Likenefs that could be, put Him to an open "Shame. If, with refpect to the Dignity of the Per"fon, to have been born King of the Jews, was what "ought to have fkreened our Saviour from Violence; "here is alfo one, not only born to a Crown, but ac"tually poffeffed of it: He was not only called King "by fome, and at the fame Time derided by others "for being fo called; but He was acknowledged by "all to be a King: He was not juft dreffed up for an "Hour or Two in purple Robes, and faluted with a Hail, King! but the ufual Ornaments of Majefty were His cuftomary Apparel: His Subjects "owned Him to be their King; and yet they brought "Him before a Tribunal; they judged Him, they con"demned Him; and, that they might not be wanting "in any Thing to fet Him at naught, they spit upon "Him, and treated Him with the utmost Contempt. "Our Saviour's declaring, that His Kingdom was not "of this World, might look like a Sort of Renunciation "of His Temporal Sovereignty, for the prefent, defir"ing only to reign in the Hearts of Men: But here "was nothing of this in the Cafe before us; here was "an indifputable unrenounced Right of Sovereignty, "both by the Laws of GOD and Man; He was the "reigning Prince, and the LORD's Anointed; and yet, "in Despite of all Law, both human and divine, He was, by direct Force of Arms, and the moft daring "Methods of a flagrant Rebellion and Violence, de"prived at once of His Imperial Crown and Life.

"The Fact of this Day was fuch a vying with the "First Arch Rebel, the apoftate Angel Lucifer; it was fuch a going beyond the old Serpent, in his own "Way of Infolence and Pride, that it is no Wonder if "he then began to raife his Head, and fet up for Do"minion in this World, when thus warmed and en"livened, by a fiery Zeal in fome, and Rage in others, to the Degree of Drunkennefs, thirsting after, and fatiating themselves in, Royal Blood; and in which refpect only, heated to the Degree of Frenzy and "Madness, the Plea in my Text may feem to have "fome Hold of them; Father, forgive them, for they "know not what they do!"
