respect to Parliament, but to their duty by solemn covenant.

1594,1595,1596,1638, &c. The present army has committed
insufferable disorders, which are recounted at some length.
The declarations of Parliament are unsatisfactory, and do
not provide security for religion. The General Assembly
are deprived of their liberty of printing under Act of Par¬

accessory to the Engagement, but declare themselves faith¬
fully concerning it, and warn civil judicatories against
ensnaring others by new oaths.
