<HEAD>A Phanatique
LEAGUE and COVENANT,
Solemnly enter'd into by the A&s;&s;ertors of the
GOOD OLD CAUSE.</HEAD>
<P><HI>_WE Ignoble men, Barbers, Coblers, Colliers, Draymen, Grocers, Huck&s;ters, Mal&s;ters, Pedlers, Sowgauters, Tinkers, Taylors,
and Mechanicks of all &s;orts, being of the Fanatick party within the Kingdomes, (formerly &s;o called) of England, Scotland,
and Ireland, living under, and Submitting to onely the Government of one Prince, Belzebub Emperor of the Infernal Region,
and having laid before us the advancement of his Scepter, with the utter de&s;truction of all Earthly Kings, and National
Powers what&s;oever, calling to mind the many coutrivances, and earne&s;t indeavors of the mo&s;t of the people of the&s;e Na|tions,
to reduce that &s;trife and confu&s;ion, which we have been &s;o many years in working, into Order and Vnity again, we
do now at la&s;t (after many in &s;ucce&s;&s;eful plots and fruitle&s;s attempts, for the pre&s;ervation of our Good Old Cau&s;e, and the
de&s;truction of our enemies) re&s;olve and determine, after the example of our dear brethren in Germany, under <HI>Muntzer, Hof|man</HI>
and <HI>Knipperdoling,</HI> to enter into a mutual confederacy by a &s;olemne Prote&s;tation and Engagement, whereto we all
&s;ub&s;cribe, and each with hands poynting downwards, and a heart devoted to his Infernal Maje&s;ty, doth &s;wear:</HI></P>
<P>I. THat we &s;hall from the very root of our corrupt hearts and con&s;ciences, endeavour by all means po&s;&s;ible, in our &s;everal capacities, to ob|&s;truct
and aboli&s;h all Decency, Order, and Form what&s;oever, in the Government of Church or State, in the three Nations of <HI>England,
Scotland,</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> and the Territories thereunto belonging; and that we will with all vigor po&s;&s;ibly contend for the utter extir|pation
of all Magi&s;tracy, Mini&s;try, Univer&s;ities, Schools of Learning, and all civil Decorum and Di&s;ciplines, whereby we may be in any
thing re&s;trained from our ambitious, malevolent, and mo&s;t pe&s;tilent De&s;ignes and Undertakings; or whereby the world may be &s;o far undeceived,
as to di&s;cover what Mi&s;chief and Confu&s;ion we aim at, by the Pretence of Spiritual Gifts, and New Lights: And furthermore do, Declare, That
there is nothing more Hatefull and Abominable in our &s;ights, than that our De&s;ignes &s;hould become manife&s;t to Malignants, and the wicked of the
World.</P>
<P>II. That (as we do in general hate all Reformation and Oder in all Affairs, either civil or Eccle&s;ia&s;tical, &s;o) mo&s;t e&s;pecially do we from the very
&s;ink of our &s;ouls dete&s;t, and abominate that Mi&s;tris of Iniquity, Prelacy, as that whereby all our damnable projects are mo&s;t in danger to be fru&s;trated,
the thing called the ancient Church in all ages, and Nations of the world, having been thereby, and thereby only (as to outward means) pre&s;er|ved
inviolate from the Sacriledge and glorious attempts, of the mo&s;t renowned Hereticks, and &s;ervants of our good Lord, who alwayes rul'd in
the hearts of the di&s;obedient.</P>
<P>III. We &s;hall with a mo&s;t perver&s;e ob&s;tinacy, to the hazard of our lives and fortunes, a&s;&s;ert our own intere&s;ts and right of conque&s;t, we had
u&s;urpt over the three Nations, again&s;t all pretended Priviledges of Parliament, Liberties of the People, and any general good what&s;oever, that &s;hall
&s;eem to ob&s;truct our de&s;igns of Liberty, to domineer over the three Nations, by virtue of that Text, <HI>The Saints &s;hall po&s;&s;e&s;s the earth.</HI> And we do mo&s;t
inveterately devote our &s;elves to the de&s;truction of King <HI>Charles,</HI> and the whole family of the <HI>Stuarts,</HI> by who&s;e introduction we are in &s;o much
danger of that damnably abhor'd compo&s;ure of all differencies, both in Church and State. And we will by all means po&s;ible, contrive the con|fu&s;ion
of that potent enemy, General <HI>Monk</HI> and his Army.</P>
<P>IV. We &s;hall with all &s;incerity to the hazard of our E&s;tates and lives, endeavour the mutual &s;upport of one another, whether under the Notion
of Quakers, Anabapti&s;ts, Fift Monarchi&s;ts, Ranters, &amp;c. And notwith&s;tanding we differ in judgement from our &s;elves, as well as from all Or|thodox
Chri&s;tians, yet we will make it appear to the world, and to the Author of that model of a Commonwealth, call'd the <HI>Rota,</HI> that we are a
Wheel, who&s;e Spokes, though divided in the circumference, yet concenter in this, <HI>viz.</HI> A total extirpation and &s;ubver&s;ion of all Government, both Ec|cle&s;ia&s;tical
and Civil.</P>
<P>V. We do declare, promi&s;e, and prote&s;t again&s;t a thing, called, <HI>A Solemn League and Covenant,</HI> hatcht in <HI>Scotland,</HI> and brought over into <HI>England,</HI>
taken and &s;ub&s;cribed by many thou&s;ands, but hitherto kept by few, which Covenant is now again revived by the pre&s;ent Parliament, and Ordered to
be publi&s;hed and placed in all Pari&s;h Churches and Chappels, as a main hinderance of our Schi&s;matical de&s;ignes, and prevention of the building of that
<HI>Babel</HI> of <HI>Confu&s;ion,</HI> which we &s;o earne&s;tly labour to accompli&s;h: And that we will to the utmo&s;t of our abilities, endeavour with all violence to exe|cute
Ju&s;tice, right or wrong, upon all tho&s;e who &s;hall oppo&s;e our intere&s;t, by endeavouring to bring about that &s;o much talkt-of <HI>Union</HI> in the three Na|tions,
between Prince and People, or the People with one another.</P>
