A pamphlet by Sir William Denny of Norwich. (1642.)
I have not been able to meet with a copy of this pamphlet,
neither can I give any idea of its title. The only book by Sir
William Denny mentioned in Watts's Bibliotheca Britannica, is the
"Pelecanicidium, or the Christian adviser against self-murder,
together with a guide, and the Pilgrim's Passe to the Land of
the Living. London, 1653,"--of which there are two copies in the
British Museum Library.
On September 16th, 1642, the House of Commons resolved that Sir
William Denny should be forthwith sent for as a delinquent by the
Sergeant at Arms, for spreading and divulging this scandalous
pamphlet and libel to the dishonour of both Houses of Parliament,
and Thomas Hill, Sir William Denny's clerk, and Michael Philips,
Mr. Corye's servant, were summoned to attend the House. On
October 7th, Denny's examination was referred to the Committee
for informations, but on the 19th December it was ordered that he
should be released from the Sergeant's custody.[86]

two Stationers, Badger and Marriott, who caused this "false and
scandalous book" to be printed, should be forthwith summoned to
attend that House to answer for the doing thereof.[87] A copy is
preserved in the British Museum Library. It contains five pages.

A pamphlet of six pages, of which there is a copy in the British
