Wherein is proved by Scripture and reason, that monarchicall government is against the minde of God, and that the execution of the late king was one of the fattest sacrifices that ever queen iustice had. Being a hue and cry after lady liberty which hath been ravished and stolne away by the grand potentates of the earth. Principally intended for the undeceiving of some honest hearts who like the poore Iewes cry, give us a king, though they smart never so much for it. 1651
