Title: | Straffords plot discovered, and the Parliament vindicated, in their justice executed upon him : by the late discovery of certain propositions delivered to His Majestie by the late Earl of Strafford, a little before his trial, with this inscriptions : Propositions for the bridling of Parliaments, and for the increasing of his majesties revenue much more then before : in which is contained, not onely the matter of the propositions suggested, but also, divers strong and forcible reasons to perswade the King to the practise hereof ; together with his advice for the forming of fortifications, and the bringing of many high-ways into one, so that none might travel but with their leave and liking ; as also, a form or model for the discipline of this designe, what men to have, and how qualified, and how to engage them sure and firm to His Majestie, and how in an insinuating way to disarm the three nations, and they should never have known it till the thing had been done ; as also seventeen ways for the raising of money for the advancing of designes ; in all which, the Councel is so pernicious, and tends so much to the ruine of the three Kingdoms, and the inthralling of the subjects thereof, as he himself confesseth that it is not fit for any English man to know ; but the snare is broken, and blessed be God we are escaped. |
