A Phanatique LEAGUE and COVENANT Solemnly enter'd into by the Assertors of the GOOD OLD CAUSE WE Ignoble men Barbers Coblers Colliers Draymen Grocers Hucksters Malsters Pedlers Sowgauters Tinkers Taylors and Mechanicks of all sorts being of the Fanatick party within the Kingdomes formerly so 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 destruction of all Earthly Kings and National Powers whatsoever calling to mind the many contrivances and earnest indeavors of the most of the people of these Nations to reduce that strife and confusion which we have been so many years in working into Order and Vnity again we do now at last after many in successeful plots and fruitless attempts for the preservation of our Good Old Cause and the destruction of our enemies resolve and determine after the example of our dear brethren in Germany under Muntzer Hofman and Knipperdoling to enter into a mutual confederacy by a solemne Protestation and Engagement whereto we all subscribe and each with hands poynting downwards and a heart devoted to his Infernal Majesty doth swear I. THat we shall from the very root of our corrupt hearts and consciences endeavour by all means possible in our several capacities to obstruct and abolish all Decency Order and Form whatsoever in the Government of Church or State in the three Nations of England Scotland and Ireland and the Territories thereunto belonging and that we will with all vigor possibly contend for the utter extirpation of all Magistracy Ministry Universities Schools of Learning and all civil Decorum and Disciplines whereby we may be in any thing restrained from our ambitious malevolent and most pestilent Designes and Undertakings or whereby the world may be so far undeceived as to discover what Mischief and Confusion 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 sights than that our Designes should become manifest to Malignants and the wicked of the World II. That as we do in general hate all Reformation and Oder in all Affairs either civil or Ecclesiastical so most especially do we from the very sink of our souls detest and abominate that Mistris of Iniquity Prelacy as that whereby all our damnable projects are most in danger to be frustrated the thing called the ancient Church in all ages and Nations of the world having been thereby and thereby only as to outward means preserved inviolate from the Sacriledge and glorious attempts of the most renowned Hereticks and servants of our good Lord who alwayes rul'd in the hearts of the disobedient III. We shall with a most perverse obstinacy to the hazard of our lives and fortunes assert our own interests and right of conquest we had usurpt over the three Nations against all pretended Priviledges of Parliament Liberties of the People and any general good whatsoever that shall seem to obstruct our designs of Liberty to domineer over the three Nations by virtue of that Text The Saints shall possess the earth And we do most inveterately devote our selves to the destruction of King Charles and the whole family of the Stuarts by whose introduction we are in so much danger of that damnably abhor'd composure of all differencies both in Church and State And we will by all means posible contrive the confusion of that potent enemy General Monk and his Army IV. We shall with all sincerity to the hazard of our Estates and lives endeavour the mutual support of one another whether under the Notion of Quakers Anabaptists Fift Monarchists Ranters c. And notwithstanding we differ in judgement from our selves as well as from all Orthodox Christians yet we will make it appear to the world and to the Author of that model of a Commonwealth call'd the Rota that we are a Wheel whose Spokes though divided in the circumference yet concenter in this viz. A total extirpation and subversion of all Government both Ecclesiastical and Civil V. We do declare promise and protest against a thing called A Solemn League and Covenant hatcht in Scotland and brought over into England taken and subscribed by many thousands but hitherto kept by few which Covenant is now again revived by the present Parliament and Ordered to be published and placed in all Parish Churches and Chappels as a main hinderance of our Schismatical designes and prevention of the building of that Babel of Confusion which we so earnestly labour to accomplish And that we will to the utmost of our abilities endeavour with all violence to execute Justice right or wrong upon all those who shall oppose our interest by endeavouring to bring about that so much talkt-of Vnion in the three Nations between Prince and People or the People with one another Luke Robinson John Lambert Col.
