Arbitrary government displayed to the life, in the tyrannic usurpation of a junto of men called the Rump Parliament. And more especially in that of the tyrant and usurper, Oliver Cromwell. In which you have a clear view of the arbitrary, illegal, and unjust proceedings, of those persons under the notion of liberty. And a compendious history of those times, faithfully collected. With the characters and lives of several of those usurpers, and a brief account of the several persons that suffered death, and imprisonment under them for their loyalty to their king and country. And by which may be seen the difference between arbitrary usurpers and lawful kings reigning by, and according to the laws of the land. Illustrated with several brass cutts, representing the chief persons, and passages therein.
