A DISCORSE OE DIVERS PETITI∣ONS OF HIGH CONCERN∣ment, and great consequence.
This Petition was written upon the Booke for the re∣creation upon the Lords day, and I delivered it to King Iames at Greenwitch: hee tooke it with him in his Coach, and committed mee to Mr. Hut∣chinson, of the guard, for a certaine time, and was graciously pleased to have great care of mee for my dyet and lodging, and after divers disputations with Bishop Neal, and Bishop Buckridge, set mee at libertie.
REad O King, read O King, and then consi∣der well, If ever any such decree was made in Israel. Help O King, help O King, and let not the Sab∣bath. Of our glorious God be thus prophained, With grievous sins in open streets proclaimed: Nor in Dooms dreadfull day this heavy hand∣writing, Bee iustly brought against great Britains Royall King.JOHN SPENCER.
