This broadside issued at the apex of the rebellion highlights the extent of Charles' belief in his claim to the throne for in it he declares the parliament at London to lack legitimacy; next he brands traitor & rebel all who attend said parliament; and finally he declares the "pretended union of these Kingdoms now at an End."
