An extremely scarce piece, being an extremely early printing of the articles of treason against the “Five Members” (John Hampden, Arthur Haselrig, Denzil Holles, John Pym, and William Strode), along with previous actions and documentation. Charles I entered a session of the Long Parliament with soldiers on January 4, 1642 in search of these members, who had angered the King during his strained relation with the House of Commons. Receiving advanced notice, the members escaped to the City of London, and the King’s action further weakened his standing with many influential English officials, which ultimately culminated in the English Civil War, and, after several years of conflict, Charles’ execution for high treason in 1649.
