The jury-man charged; or, A letter to a citizen of London. : VVherein is shewed the true meaning of the statute, entituled, An act to prevent and suppress seditious conventicles. As also, the false glosses and intrepretations detected. And it is evinced by undeniable reasons that the Quakers and others that are ordinarily committed to prison, by justices of the peace and chief magistrates of corporations, upon that statute, are not guilty of the breach of it; and yet in reason it is impossible to convict any man among us of being present at a meeting, under pretense and colour of any exercise of religion in other manner than is allowed by the lyturgy or practice of the Church of England, except those that in their meetings are manifestly seditious or otherwise notoriously wicked.

Yet another word to the wise: : shewing, that the lamentable grievances of the Parliaments friends in Cumberland and Westmerland [sic]. Presented by their Commissioner, Mr. Iohn Musgrave, to the House of Commons above two yeares agoe, are so far yet from being redressed, that the House of Commons not only protecteth Mr. Richard Barwis, one of their owne members, from the law, being accused of high treason, as appeareth by the great charge against him in this treatise contained. As also against Sir Wilford Lawson, commander in chiefe of Cumberland, who betrayed that county into the enemies hands. ... But instead of doing justice either against them or other accused traytors to the common-wealth, they have most unjustly committed that worthy gentleman, Mr. John Musgrave, (their accuser and prosecuter to the Fleet prison) above these 12. moneths, without any kind of allowance to himselfe or family, or so much as any appearance yet of any faire hearing, triall, or deliverance.
