Subtitle: To the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament upon occasion of their former Petition for Peace : with the true relation of the abuse offered to the Petitirners [sic].
Publisher: [Prin]te[d] for William Webb
Published: 1643
Place of publication: [Oxford]
Language: eng
Subjects: England and Wales. -- Parliament.
Notes: Madan gives note: 'Appparently a made-up piece, issued to follow up a genuine petition of the inhabitants of London to the Parliament 'for Peace', presented on December 12, 1642 ... The present piece describes the harsh treatment of the petitioners on Dec. 7, when they unsuccessfully tried to present the former petition. They were much hustled and worried, and they now pray for a Parliamentary inquiry, with protection for themselves. It is difficult to say whether it is a London counterfeit or not. The misspellings on the title-page do not look like Oxford printing, but the ornaments are not alien, so it may for the present be considered genuine. It was clearly printed in Jan. 1642/3, though composed in the previous month. There are copies in Corpus Christi and Lincoln colleges at Oxford, but it seems not to be in the British Museum or Bodleian'.
