The Declaration of Col. Harrison to the King.

1 That his trust was to be in God. 2 That his desire is, that God may have the glory of all. 3 That he hated all base and obscure undertakings. 4 That what would be done concerning his Majesty would be open, and to the eyes of the world. And protested that he himself would oppose a∣ny that should privately offer violence to his person. This gave his Majesty great satisfaction, who replyed, that if the Army acted beyond his thoughts and expectation, he would proclaime their fame throughout all Europe.
