Excerpt from Check to the King
Many men have sought to find various reasons for the defection of the gentlemen of England, during the period at which we had now arrived. Aspersions have been cast which are little merited. My master and I have incurred no little obloquy, in company with countless others sharing the best blood of England. But if the story be ever impartially told, it will be found that both honour and loyalty lay behind what seems, to some unversed in the hidden history of our time, to resemble dishonour and disloyalty.
