Presented as the King’s own reflections in his solitude and sufferings, this book appeared within days of the execution of Charles I in January 1649. In chapters of reasoning and prayer it defends his conduct through the Civil War and his care for the Church, and it ends with the prayers he was said to have used in his last days.

One of the most influential books of the seventeenth century, which made Charles a royal martyr in the eyes of many. Download the free EPUB.
