Treatise against disloyalty. English, mid seventeenth century
'A tractate against disloyalty in generall and more specially in discovering the manifold perniciousnes of a treatise cried up and downe in open streets in the name of Mr Prin. His egregious falshoods, prevarications, paradoxes, contradictions, and dissimulations destructive to the essence of Parliament in every degree, repugnant both to the testimonies of Scriptures alleaged by himselfe and his owne principles: degenerating alsoe both from primitively Catholique doctrine, and the Protestant Profession of the Church of England'.
