The Bishops downefall or, the prelats snare. : Briefly discovering them to have been the sole authours of all our miseries both in church and state, the fomenters of all the jelousies betwixt the King and his sujects . And the supposed evill counsellours, who have brought this heavy accusation upon those worthy members of the House of Commons. A poeme: humbly dedicated to this honourable city, which by sad experience have found the same to be true. Whereunto is added a hearty exhortation to all good Christians, to joyne in prayer, that God would be pleased to heale all the breaches, these enemies of our church have made, and to restore a happy union betwixt the King and his people. by E. E. Gentleman.
