On March 27th, 1649, the House of Commons resolved that this
printed paper contained "much false, scandalous, and reproachful
matter; and was highly seditious and destructive to the present
Government; as it is now declared and settled by Parliament; tends
to Division and mutiny in the army, and the raising of a new war
in the Commonwealth, and to hinder the present relief of Ireland;
and to the continuing of Free Quarter." And it was further declared
that the authors, contrivers, and Framers of the said paper
were guilty of High Treason; and should be proceeded against as
Traitors: and that all persons assisting them should be esteemed as
traitors to the Commonwealth; and be proceeded against accordingly.
And it was referred to the Council of State to examine and find
out the authors, contrivers, and framers, printers and publishers
of the said paper; and to proceed therein as they should find just
and necessary, for preventing tumults, and for preservation of the
peace of the Commonwealth, and thereof to give an account speedily
to the House. On April 11th, 1649, the House of Commons ordered
that the Attorney General should prosecute Lieut. Col. Lilburne,
Mr. William Walwyn, Mr. Richard Overton, and Mr. Thomas Prince, in
the Upper Bench, touching the publication of this book.[145] A copy
