IT may seeme strange , that I , who with all zeale and earnestnesse have prosecuted in the beginning of this Parliament , the Reformation of all disorders in Church , and Common-wealth , should now in a time of such great distractions , desert the cause . Most true it is , that my ends were the common good : And whilst that was prosecuted , I was ready to lay downe both my life and fortune : But when I found a Preparation of Armes against the KING , under the shadow of Loyaltie , I rather resolved , to obey a good Conscience , then particular ends , and am now on my way to His Majesty , where I will , throw my selfe downe at his feet , and die a loyall Subject . PAGET . Printed for Hugh Perry , 1642.
