page 53 note a On the 10th June, 1646, the king ordered the governors of Oxford and the few other places in his possession, to surrender the towns in their charge, and to disband the forces under their command. The reason assigned for this order was that his majesty had resolved to “comply with the desires of the parliament in every thing which may be for the good of his subjects.” (Works of Charles I. p. 113, ed. 1687.)
