To the Alderman or Deputy of the Ward of Michel Having already given you truly and briefly the present condition of the King the actions of the Parliament and the consent of the City it remaines that I should conclude with the proceedings of the Generall Councell of the Army in relation to his Majesty and setling the Kingdome the said Councell being drawing up a charge against him consisting of severall heads wherein these following are chiefly insisted on Matters charged against the Kings Majesty by the Generall Councell of the Army 1. That his Majesty being trusted with a limited power to rule according to Law and by expresse Covenant and Oath obliged to preserve and protect the Rights and Liberties of the People for and by whom he was intrusted hath perverted that trust and abused that power to the hurt and prejudice of the generality and to the oppression if not destruction of many of them and hath raised and assumed that hurtful power which was never committed to him to the taking away all those foundations of Right and Liberty which the people had reserved from him and to swallow up all into his owne will and power to impose or take away yea to destroy at pleasure and declining all appeal herein to the establishment of equall judgement raised force upon his trusting people and attempted by it to uphold and establish himself in that absolute tyrannicall power so assumed over them and exercising thereof at pleasure which evills being acted against the publique interest have been adjudged capitall in severall of his Predecessors 2. That the King hath granted Commissions to the Prince as also to ORMOND and his associate Irish Rebells which are not recalled to this day 3. That this capitall and grand offender and author of our troubles the person of the King by whose Commissions Commands or procurement and in whose behalfe and for whose interest only of will and power all our warres and troubles have been with all the miseries attending them is guilty of all the trouble losse hazzard and expence of the blood and mischiefes that have happened by the late wars in this Kingdome 4. That the King raised severall Armes to the spoile and neer desolation of the Kingdome and in the raising and having raised that force he did by it assume and exercise all kind of absolute and arbitrary power at his owne will alone without Parliament These being the grand matters in charge against the King amongst others they are to be put into forme and then if if they proceed to triall it will be in a Parliamentary way and the Army are to manage the proofs FINIS
