  Treason in graine that most traiterous, or libel of Fitz-harris, whereby he design'd to raise a rebellion amongst us the better to make way for a French invasion, and our utter destruction, as it was read in both Houses of Parliament at Oxford, and upon which the House of Commons impeached him of high treason. Falsly and malitiously called by him, the true English-man speaking plain English, in a letter from a friend to a friend.

summary:
  so much in love with his Popish Irish Rebels ( therein treading in his Fathers steps ) that he promotes Montgarret ( Carlingford , Fitz Patrick and others who were the Heads of the Rebellion , to Honors and Preferment , though Charles took the Covenant and a Coronation Oath to preserve the Protestant Religion , yet hath he not palpably broken them ? He made large promises and protestations at Breda for the allowing a perpetual Liberty of Conscience to Non-conforming Protestants , but he soon forgot them all : To what end was the Act which was made soon after his restoration , prohibiting any to call him P●… or to say he Popishly enclin'd , and rend●●●g such as should offend Ge●●ry of a premu●ire , but to stop the Peoples Mouthes when ever he should Act any thing in Favor of Popery as he was then resolved to do ? Is it not manifest therefore , that Scotch Oaths , Breda promises , Protestant Profession , liberty of Conscience , War with France , saving of Flanders is all in Jest to delude Protestant Subjects ? Is it not apparent that breaking of Leagues , Dutch Wars , Smirna Fleet , French measures to favor their Conquests , loss of Ships , War in Christendom , Blood of Protestants , reprieving of Popish Traitors , is all in earnest , and done in Favor of Popery ? And are not his fa●r Speeches , his true Protestant Love to Parliaments Just rights , and English Liberties , his pretended Ignorance of the Plot , and his Hanging of Traytors to serve a turn , but in meer jest ? Are not his great Debaucheries , his Whoring Courtiers , Popish Councels , cheating Rogues , Hellish Plottings , his saving of Traytors , his French Pensioners , his Nests of Whores and Swarms of Bastards , his Macks , his Cut-Throats , his Horrid Murderers , his Burning of London and the Provost's house too , his Sham-plotting , his suborn'd Villains , his Popish Officers by Sea and Land , his Struglings for a Popish Successor , his agreements with France , his frequent Dissolutions of Parliaments , his buying of Voices , his false returns all of them designs to ruine us in good earnest , and in favor of Arbitrary Government ? And is it not in order to this Ble●●●d end that you see none Countenanced by Charles and James , but Church Papists , betraying Bishops , Tantivy abhorrers , barking Touzers , Popish Scriblers to deceive the People and fix the Popish Successors Illegal Title ? Are not Jesuits Councels , French Assistance to conquer Ireland , subdue Scotland , winn Flanders , beat the Dutch , get their Shipping , be Masters of the Seas ? And are not facing a Rebellion , the letting the Plot go on , the endeavoring to retrieve the Popish C●use by getting a Popish pentionary , abhorring Parliaments , who shall betray their Country , enslave posterity and destroy themselves at last , means only to save a Popish Traiterous Successor , and a present Popish Possessor ? James and Charles are Brethren in Iniquity , corrupt both in root and branch , and who study to enslave England to a French and Romish Yoke , is not all this plain ? Have you not Eyes , Sense or Feeling ? Where is the Old English Noble Spirit ? Are you become French asses to suffer any load to be laid upon you ? And therefore if you can get no remedy from this next Parliament ( as certainly you will not ) and if Charles doth not repent and comply with it , then up all as one Man. Can there be any thing more ●●●●●●t than that he continues the Dukes adherents , and those who were advanced by him , in all Offices of Trust ? And hath he not turn'd out of his Councel the most Zealous Protestants , such as Shaftesbury , Essex and others , and introduced in their Rooms other meer Tools , or those that are Popishly and Arbitrarily affected ? Hath he not modell'd all the Sheriffs and Justices throughout England in subserviency to a Popish Design ? Was not Sir William Waller and Dr. Chamberlain , and divers others turn'd out of the Commission in and about London , meerly for being Zealous Prosecutors of Priests and Papist● ?

  Rome for Canterbury, or, A true relation of the birth and life of William Laud Arch-bishop of Canterbury together with the whole manner of his proceeding, both in the star-chamber, high-commission court, in his owne house, and some observations of him in the tower : with his carriage at the fight of the deputyes going to the place of execution, &c. : dedicated to all the Arminian tribe or Canterburian faction, in the yeare of grace, 1641 : whereunto is added all the articles by which he stands charged of high treason, &c.

summary:
  It is observed by some , that in all the time of his Pontificall Prelacy , he never promoted any to Church preferment that favoured not of the Arminian ●●et , and still when Benefices fell , that were either in his gift , or where his power was to have them bestowed , hee hath caused such men to be instituted , and inducted , as either were dunces in learning , or debaucht in their lives : such men being most apt ( for their tempo●ising or ignorance ) to imbrace any Innovation that should bée brought into the Church : nay , when places have not béene voyd , but supplyed by pious Pastors , and devout Ministers , that were constant professors of the Protestant faith , yet by spies , and intelligencers , such Cavills have béene made at their Doctrines and Disciplines , that notwith●tanding their charge of wife and children , and that their utter undoings impended upon the taking away of their meanes , yet they have béene supplanted , that the other might subsist in their places ; the first turn'd out , the latter took in ; but that which farre transcends the former , that he hath laboured to suppresse the French and Dutch Protestant Churches here in London , who for their Conscience and Religions sake have abandoned their Countries , to aveyd persecution , and have made this famous Citie their Asilum and Sanctuary for themselves and families . GReatnesse● and Goodnesse are two severall blessed attributes co●ferred upon man , but seldome méete in one pe●son : Greatnesse ma● bee stiled a gift in●erd by fort●ne : but Goodnesse , a grace i●fused by God .
