Rash oaths unwarrantable: and the breaking of them as inexcusable. Or, a discourse, shewing, that the two Houses of Parliament had little ground to make those oaths they have made, or lesse ground to take, or presse the taking of them, ... by meanes of which they have declaratorily, and visibly lost the very soule and essence of true magistracy, (which is, the doing of justice, judgment, equity and right) and are become a dead carkasse. In which is also a true and just declaration of the unspeakable evill of the delay of justice, and the extraordinary sufferings of Lievtenant Colonell John Lilburne, very much occasioned by M. Henry Martins unfriendly and unjust dealing with him, in not making his report to the House. All which with divers other things of very high concernment, are declared in the following discourse, being an epistle written by Lievtenant-Colonell John Lilburne, prerogative-prisoner in the Tower of London, to Colonell Henry Marten, ... chaire-man to the committee for consideration of the liberties of the commons of England. May 1647.
