An Elegie And Epitaph On that glorious Saint, and blessed Martyr, King Charles I. The best of Kings since Christ, but mur- ther'd by the worst of men since the Creation. Written a day or two after his Martyrdom, and occasioned by an Arbitrary and Tyrannous Procla- mation that made it Treason for any man to speak or write against the barbarous Murther. Now published to shew the World the unparallel'd Patience and Piety of the dead Murther'd King; and the matchlesse impudence and impiety of his past and present living Murtherers. For the suspition of which, and many other things, the Author lay almost two years in the Gate-house, defy- ing all the insolent and illagal Usurpation, and power at Westminster and White-Hall. Saying alwayes then, and ever since, and ever will, God bless King Charles the Second
