Sighs for the Pitchers: breathed out in a personal Contribution
to the National Humiliation the last of May, 1666, in the cities
of London and Westminster, upon the near approaching engagement
then expected between the English and Dutch Navies. Wherewith are
Complicated such musings as were occasioned by a Report of their
actual engagement; and by observing the Publike Rejoycing whilst this
was preparing by the Author, George Wither. Imprinted in the sad year
expressed in this seasonable Chronogram.

  On July 23rd, 1666, a warrant was issued by the Secretary of State
  to Lewis Dormay to apprehend George Wither, Henry Eversden, Sarah
  Anderton, Elizabeth Goslin, and Margaret Hicks for dispersing this
  "seditious pamphlet."[195] A copy of it is preserved in the British
  Museum Library.

Nehushtan: or, a sober and peaceable discourse concerning the
abolishing of things abused to Superstition and Idolatry; which may
serve as one intire, and sufficient argument to evince that the
Liturgy, Ceremonies, and other things used at this Day in the Church
of England ought neither to be imposed, nor retained, but utterly

their refusal to close with them. London. 1668.

  This book was written by John Wilson, a Nonconformist, of Chester.
  Elizabeth Calvert was imprisoned for helping the author to print
  it, as appears from a petition presented by her to the Secretary
  of State wherein she states that she was wholly ignorant of the
  sedition contained therein, and she promised never to be concerned
  in such books for the future.[196]

An appeal from the Country to the City for the preservation of his
Majestie's Person, Liberty, Property, and the Protestant Religion.
London. 1679.

  This book was published by Benjamin Harris, Bookseller of Cornhill,
  and for so doing he was tried at the Guildhall, London, in 1680,
  and found guilty. He afterwards received sentence in the Court of
  King's Bench to pay a fine of £500; to stand on the Pillory an
  hour, and find sureties for his good behaviour for three years; and
  had it not been for Mr. Justice Pemberton, the Chief Justice would
  have added that he should be publicly whipped.[197] On December 21,
  1680, the House of Commons ordered an address for the remission
  of this fine to be presented to the King. The indictment is as
