Liberty and law battle over royal restraint at Guildhall
A lengthy reflection celebrates the July security decision at Guildhall protecting the poor, lauds jurors for refusing a special verdict, and warns against arbitrary imprisonments. It recounts Dr Leighton’s 1630 punishment, cites Magna Charta protections, and pleads for trial by peers under law. The piece ends with a prophetic wartime lament by Sibylla Cumana warning England’s peril from foreign influence.
