Wherein is demonstrated, what slavery the nation must subject it self to, by allowing the lawfulness and usurped authority of the pretended Long Parliament now unlawfully and violently held at Westminster. By William Prynne, bencher of Lincolns-Inne.

Pym and the close Committee here , to inform them of a strange conspiracy discovered in Edenburgh , to seize on the persons of the Marquesse Hamilton , and the Earles of Argile , and Lan●ricke : the Committee wisely considering that it was no st●ange thing for Treason to make a step out of Scotland into England , instantly provided against it , ( at least so they would be thought ) by publishing an Order commanding the Iustices of Peace of Middlesex , Surrey , and Southwarke , to secure the City and the places adjoyning from all danger by strong guards , well armed , and give this reason for their Order , Because the Mischievous designes and conspiracies lately discovered in Scotland against some Principall and Great men there , by some of the Popish Faction , gives just occasion to suspect , that they may maintain correspondency here and practise the like mischiefe .
