I observe by pag. 16, & 17. that you are not content to vent your passions against the Ministers of London only; but also against the secluded and imprisoned Members of Parliament, whom you falsely accuse for countenancing the tumultuous violence of the Apprentices, embezzling the 200000 l. appointed for the relief of Ireland, corresponding with the revolted ships, the Scots Army, and the Insurrections in Kent, &c. For the taking off those scandals from those renowned Gentlemen, I refer the Reader to that clear and satisfactory Vindication of the imprisoned and secluded Members of the House of Commons, printed January 20. 1648. Hoping that the Lord will bring forth their righteousness as the light, and their just dealing as the noon day.
