 The title page of the pamphlet on Ferdinand II bore the false claim that it was printed "at the Hague" — but the Stuart authorities were not fooled; first Butter, and then Stansby, were arrested for violating the regime's strict censorship policy, and Stansby's presses were damaged.Petitions for mercy from both Butter and Stansby survive in the extant records; in his, Stansby places all the blame for the affair on Butter.Both men spent some months in prison over the matter, but were eventually released.
