  A word in the behalf of the King, : that he may see who they are that honour all men, and love the brother-hood, that fear God, and honour the King, according as it is written in the scriptures of truth, see 1 Pet. 2.17. ... For who live in all manner of sin and wickednesse, drunkennesse, oaths, and uncleannesse, and ungodlinesse, these live out of Gods fear, so cannot honour the King. But they that depart from all manner of sin, ungodliness, unrighteousness, uncleanness, filthiness, swearing, are them that fear God, and honour the King; and also how that Christ ends the Jews law, by which they were to kill about religion such as were contrary-minded, ... yet you may see that Christ's command and doctrine was to love enemies, and they that do so are the true Christians

  Something in ansvver to the old Common-prayer-book, : and for the information of those who are for it; which is much of it taken out of the old Mass-book. Both which are got up since the Apostles dayes: for them in meekness and patience to read over, consider and try by the Scriptures of truth, whether or no they are not degenerated from the Apostles. The Scriptures in all your books are owned in themselves, in the condition to which they were spoken, and him in whom they end, the life; but the imaginations of them no man can own that fears God; ... So this is an answer to something of the Common-prayer, which things we find not agreeable to the Scriptures, nor the Apostles, nor the true Church

  Seria exercitus series. : The Army anatomized: or, A brief & plain display of the humble, honest and religious actings of the General Sir Tho. Fairfax, and his army of saints, toward the good of the King and Parliament, and the whole kingdom, since the famous victory, at Naseby, June 14. 1645.

  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.
