To convince them of, humble them for, convert them from their transcendent treasons, rebellions, perjuries, violences, oppressive illegal taxes, excises, militiaes, imposts; destructive councils, proceedings against their lawfull Protestant hereditarie kings, the old dissolved Parliament, the whole House of Lords, the majoritie of their old secured, secluded, imprisoned fellow-Members, the counties, cities, boroughs, freemen, commons, Church, clergie of England, their Protestant brethren, allies; contrary to all their oathes, protestations, vowes, leagues, covenants, allegiance, remonstrances, declarations, ordinances, promises, obligations to them, the fundamental laws, liberties of the land; and principles of the true Protestant religion; and to perswade them now at last to hearken to and embrace such counsels, as tend to publike unitie, safetie, peace, settlement, and their own salvation. / By William Prynne Esq; a bencher of Lincolns Inne.
