Contains not a few shrewd and witty aphorisms; e. g. 'I never noted
the Relations of the Devils and Witches, talking together, but about
foolish things. With this is bound up:
Religio Regis, or The Faith and Duty of a Prince. Written by King
James I, being Instructions to his Son Prince Henry. 1615.
A king is not mere laicus.
Lilburne, John (1614 P-57).
For an extensive bibliography by Peacock, E. , of the writings of
Lilburne, and of others concerning him, see Notes and Queries, ser. VII,
vol. v, 18 February 1888, pp. 122, 123; and cf. art. Lilburne, by Firth, C. H. ,
in D. of N. B. vol. XXXIII. The following are among the most notorious
pamphlets of this dauntless agitator, pamphleteer, patriot and martyr-for
he could have laid claim to all of these designations. His life, from 1638
onwards, was an unbroken series of imprisonments, whipping and pillory,
fines, banishments, appearances at the bar of parliament. At last, it settled
down into a life and death conflict with Cromwell, in which Lilburne engaged
in intrigues with royalists, but maintained his hold on popular sympathy.
Though in prison to nearly the close of his life, he ended it in peace, as a
quaker.
The Just Man's Justification. 1646.
Anatomy of the Lords Tyranny. . . exercised upon John Lilburne.

The Resolved Man's Resolution etc. 1647.

Sexby, Edward (d. 1658). Killing No Murder. 1657. Bptd in Pollard, A. F,
Political Pamphlets, 1897.
Completed about the end of May 1657, when it was believed that the
longdrawn negotiations between Cromwell and the parliament would
end in his acceptance of the crown. Sexby, formerly one of the leading
'agitators,' was then living at Antwerp, and had the tract printed in
Holland, after it had been 'polished and seasoned' by captain Titus.
Both claimed the authorship; but the name put on the title-page was
that of William Allen, formerly one of Cromwell's own Ironsides. See

against Cromwell and his party, frequently but not always couched in
dramatic form, and usually calling themselves 'tragic comedies. '
