In the Order of Charles I there are a few unimportant variations. A sermon is introduced before the king takes the oath. In the Consecration prayer (_God the strength_) a return is made to the original, which had been slightly altered for James I. The old order of the prayers _God crown thee_ and _O God of eternity_ is reverted to. The first of the two blessings of the ring disappears. Perhaps the prayer _God the unspeakable author_ was not used[81], as it does not occur in the copy of the order which the king himself used on his coronation day. In the Eucharist the two blessings after the offertory are said after, instead of before, the Secret. Queen Henrietta Maria was not crowned. At his trial, among the many accusations brought against him, Laud was accused of having tampered with the coronation oath[82] in two particulars. He was charged with adding to the first section the qualifying words ‘agreeable to the King’s prerogative,’ and of omitting from the last section the words ‘quae populus elegerit.’ There was an alteration made in the first section. This concludes in the old oath of the _Liber Regalis_, which was used in English at the coronation of James I, with the words ‘granted to the clergy and people by the glorious King, Saint Edward your predecessor.’ In the oath as taken by Charles I the words ‘and people’ were omitted, while there was added at the end of the section ‘according to the laws of God, the true profession of the Gospel established in this kingdom, and agreeing to the prerogative of the kings thereof and the ancient customs of this realm.’ Laud denied any knowledge of this alteration. In the last section of the oath the _Liber Regalis_ has _Concedis iustas leges et consuetudines esse tenendas, et promittis per te eas esse protegendas quas vulgus elegerit?_ Here again in the oath of Charles there is a modification of the wording, _Sir, will you grant to hold and keep the rightful customs which the commonalty of this your kingdom have?_ But this alteration had as a matter of fact been made at the time of the last coronation, for this passage is almost identical with the oath taken by James I. That there was in Stuart times a deliberate attempt to weaken the force of some of the language in the oath is evident. Henry VIII had been dissatisfied with the terms of the oath and made some attempt to alter it by the insertion of such modifying expressions as ‘not prejudicial to his jurisdiction,’ ‘not prejudicial to his crown,’ ‘which the nobles and people have made and chosen _with his consent_.’ But his attempted revision came to nothing, and both he and Edward VI took the oath at their coronation in the form in which it stands in the _Liber Regalis_[83].
