English protestants plea, and petition, for English preists [sic] and papists : to the present court of Parlament, and all persecutors of them: divided into two parts. In the first is proved by the learned protestants of England, that these preists and Catholicks, have hitherto been unjustly persecuted, though they have often and publickly offered soe much, as any Christians in conscience might doe. In the second part, is proved by the same protestants, that the same preistly sacrificinge function, acknowledgeing and practize of the same supreme spiritual jurisdiction of the apostolick see of Rome, and other Catholick doctrines, in the same sence wee now defend them, and for which we ar at this present persecuted, continued and were practized in this Island without interruption in al ages, from S. Peter the Apostle, to these our times
