Gent. Imprimatur Ja. Cranford.

The manifest presented to the Parliament in Scotland, in regard of the present troubles in England;: according to the eternall righteousnesse of God, the Soveraign iudge. And that they may take heed of causing a new desolation of the poore, by inter-medling with the judgement of God.
