title:
  The Lord Baltemores case concerning the province of Maryland, adjoyning to Virginia in America. With full and clear answers to all material objections, touching his rights, jurisdiction, and proceedings there. And certaine reasons of state, why the Parliament should not impeach the same. Unto which is also annexed, a true copy of a commission from the late King's eldest son, to Mr. William Davenant, to dispossess the Lord Baltemore of the said province, because of his adherence to this Common-wealth.

summary:
  Notwithstanding which , the said Commissioners , after Virginia was reduced , went to Maryland , and upon pretence of a certaine clause ( which it seems was by some meanes or other , put into their Instructions , after Maryland was struck out as aforesaid ) to wit , that they should reduce all the Plantations ▪ in the Bay of Cheseapeack to the obedience of the Parliament , and some part of Maryland , where the L. Baltemore's chief Colony there is seated , being within that Bay , as well as most of the Plantations of Virginia are ; they required Captaine Stone , and the rest of the Lord Baltemore's Officers there , first to take the Ingagement , which they all readily subscribed , and declared , that they did in all humility submit themselves to the Government of the Commonwealth of England in chief under God ; then the Commissioners required them to issue out Writs and Processe out of the L. Baltemore's Courts there in the name of the Keepers of the Liberty of England , and not in the name of the Lord Proprietary , as they were wont to doe , wherein they desired to be excused ; because they did not conceive the Parliament intended to devest the Lord Baltemore of his right there , and that they understood out of England that the Councell of State intended not that any alteration should be made in Maryland . There was indeed a Patent heretofore granted by King James in the 7. yeare of his reign of a great part of that northern Continent of America , which was then called Virginia , to divers Lords and Gentlemen here in England , who were by that Patent erected into a Corporation , by the name of the Virginia Company , in which tract of land granted to the said Company , that Country which is now called Maryland , was included , but that Patent was Legally evicted by a Quoranto in the then Kings Bench , in 21. year of the sayd King James , 8. or 9. years before the Patent of Maryland was granted to the L. Baltemore ; which Company or Corporation the Inhabitants of Virginia desire not now to revive , by vertue of their Articles abovementioned , but abhor the memory of it , in regard of the great oppression and slavery they lived in under it , when it was on foot , so as they never having had any Patent , right , or possession of the sayd Province of Maryland , there could be no injury done to them by the Lord Baltemore's sayd Patent , after the eviction of the sayd Virginia Companies Patent thereof .
