An appeal to the parliament, or, Sion's plea against the prelacie : the summe whereoff is delivered in a decade of positions : in the handling vvhereoff the Lord Bishops and their appurtenances are manifestlie proved both by divine and humane lawes to be intruders vpon the priviledges of Christ, of the King, and of the common-vveal, and threfore vpon good evidence given, she hartelie desireth a iudgement and execution
A 1629 polemical tract by Alexander Leighton, a Scottish Presbyterian, printed by Jan Fredericksz Stam, arguing in a decade of positions against bishops and prelacy and addressed to Parliament. The pictures are small printed woodcut ornaments: a foliate border strip, decorated initial letters S and R with scrolled acanthus-like flourishes and hatched shading, that a designer could adapt for historical display type or frames.
