Subtitle: Containing a memorable petition and declaration contrived by himself and his instruments, whiles Protector, in the name of the three estates of England, to importune and perswade him to accept of the kingship, and crown of England, by their joynt election, (as if he were unwilling to undertake, or accept, though he most ambitiously aspired after them, by the bloudy murthers of K. Henry 6. Edward 5. and sundry others) before his coronation; presented afterwards to, and confirmed by the three estates and himself, in his first Parliament, to give him a colourable title both by inheritance, and their election to the crown. Transcribed out of the Parliament roll of 1.R.3.

Notes: "In reply to a pamphlet: The humble petition and advice, which urged Cromwell to assume the kingship [and] aroused Prynne to retort with a daring tract, King Richard the Third revived." - E. W. Kirby, William Prynne, a study in Puritanism.

Ascribed to Prynne without question in: Brit. mus. cat. Dict. nat. biog., and W. C. Abbott: A bibliography of Oliver Cromwell. Date of publication of Speed's History (1627) precludes this.

Also incorporated (without title) in the Rotuli parliamentorum (under Richard III) Prynne has apparently supplied title, marginal notes, concluding paragraph and three quotations from the Old Testament.

Rare Book copy: No. 8 in a bound volume of titles.
