It was also ordained by both Houses of Parliament that the Epistle and Tract intituled "The State of the Question concerning Propositions of Peace" comprised in the before mentioned book, contained in it matters scandalous and false, and that only the said Epistle and Tract should be forthwith burnt by the Common Hangman, and it was declared and ordained that the author was a person highly disaffected to the Parliament of England, and had endeavoured to raise sedition against the Parliament and kingdom.[113] A copy of this book exists in the British Museum Library. It is in quarto, and contains 26 pages. The "Epistle" before referred to was written by Mr. David Buchanan. PART III.] [TO BE CONTINUED.

An open sheet containing a print entitled "Dictated thoughts upon the Presbyterians late Petition for compleat and universal power (in divine ordinances) as represented by a heart borne on the wings of "Tender Conscience Religiously affected."" A copy of this curious print is preserved in the British Museum Library, with this M.S. note thereon. "London, 14 April, 1646." From the heart issue two labels inscribed "_The more_ {_ye wound my tender dear & pretious Heart_ {_yo^r seered on's shall feel most bitter smart_. _All three to Injure me as mortall foe_ } _Encreaseth yo^r eternall woe, woe, woe_.} Reve., c. 8, v. 13." The "_Papa_" holding a book inscribed "_Latin Mass_," a "_Prelat_" holding another book, "_Liturgi_," and an "_Antichristian Presbiter_" holding a third book, "_Directorie_," have their legs fastened to one chain, and are piercing the heart with swords. The arm of "_Presbiter_" is kept down by a heavy weight; he is trampling upon the crown. On April 20th, 1646, the House of Commons referred to the Committee of Examinations to find out the author and printer of this "scandalous paper," and to report the same to the House on Wednesday morning next, but no further proceedings seem to have been taken.[114] A copy is preserved in the British Museum Library. 143.
