Charles R. Desires to make known his dispositions more
fully. Feels his responsibility to God, and must therefore
preserve his right and authority. He would not have them
judges of another kingdom, but appeals to their sense of
justice, their natural affection for him, the Covenant, the
good laws of the late Parliament, and their promises of help.
He has been charged with (1) being popishly affected, (2)
being the cause of the Irish bloodshed, (3) intending to
bring in foreign forces. These charges are untrue.
