Scope and Contents

It is a very joyful matter to see how well the king, his lords, and commons do agree together in this parliament, particularly in the need to have some "seuere execution vppon the preests and recusants for the late executions of the traytors" (after the Gunpowder Plot). Henry Garnet or Walley has been apprehended.
