On January 15th, 1651/52, the Parliament approved and affirmed
the judgment and resolutions of the Commissioners for compounding
in the case of Josiah Prymate, and after having proceeded with
the matter of crime charged in the petition, it was resolved that
this petition was false, malicious, and scandalous, and that the
printing, publishing, and dispersing of the same was a high breach
of privilege of Parliament; and also that all the printed copies
should be burned by the Common Hangman at the Old Exchange, London,
and in the New Palace, Westminster, on Tuesday and Wednesday next,
also that Prymate should be fined £3000, to be paid to the use
of the Commonwealth; also £2000 more, to be paid to Sir Arthur
Haslerig; also £2000 more to be paid to James Russells, Edward
Winslow, William Molins, and Arthur Squibb, Esquires, four of the
Commissioners for compounding. It was then ordered that Prymat
should be committed to the Fleet till the aforesaid sums were paid.
The House then proceeded against Lieutenant Colonel John Lilburne,
who confessed that he had dispersed several of the printed copies
of this petition, and similar fines were imposed upon him, as well
as perpetual banishment from the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and
Ireland.[158]
A copy is preserved in the British Museum Library.
