On June 21st, 1650, the House of Commons ordered that search should
be made for the author, printer, and publisher of this pamphlet,
and on the 27th September following, the confession of Laurence
Clarkson "touching the making and publishing of this impious and
blasphemous book" was reported to the House; and it was resolved
that Clarkson should be forthwith sent to the House of Correction
for one month, and from that time "to be banished out of the
Commonwealth and the territories thereof, and not to return upon
pain of death."
The book itself was to be burnt by the Common Hangman in the New
Palace at Westminster, and upon the Exchange.[157] A copy is
preserved in the British Museum Library. It is in quarto, and
contains 16 pages.

A folio broadside, of which the following is a copy:--
"To the Supream Authority of this Nation, the Parliament of the

"The humble petition and appeal of Josiah Prymat of London,
Leatherseller, sheweth,
"That your Petitioner, by his under-tenants, George Lilburn
Esquire, and George Gray the younger, Gentleman, both of the
County of Durham, being in the years 1647, 1648, and 1649, in a
just and quiet possession of the Collieries, or Seams of Cole, in
Harraton, in the County aforesaid, called the Five-quarter and
Nine-quarter Cole, (and having spent near £2000 to win the same),
which lay drowned and lost, from 1642 to 1647; Sir Arthur Haslerig,
in September, 1649, procuring Colonel Francis Wren, one of the
Committee of that County, and Colonel George Fenwick, to joyn with
him, made an Order, (against which the rest of the said Committee
present protested) to sequester the said Collieries, under colour
of an untrue suggestion that Sir Wm. Armyn had sequestred the same
in 1644, as belonging to one Thomas Wray, a Papist Delinquent:
and thereupon the said Sir Arthur violently dispossessed your
Petitioner's tenants, and seized their goods; and lett the said
Collieries to Colonel Francis Hacker, and several of the Officers
of his own Regiment.
