Subtitle: briefly discovering them to have been the sole authours of all our miseries both in church and state, the fomenters of all the ielousies betwixt the King and his sujects [sic] : and the supposed evill counsellours  who have brought this heavy accusation upon those worthy members of the House of Commons : a poeme, humbly dedicated to this honourable city, which by sad experience have found the same to be true : whereunto is added a hearty exhortation to all good Christians to joyne in prayer, that God would be pleased to heale all the breaches, these enemies of our church have made and to restore a happy union betwixt the King and his people
