520			_a"His Majesties Declaration Defended" by John Dryden is a political pamphlet written in the late 17th century, specifically in 1681. This work is a defense against anti-royalist sentiments prevalent at the time and is set against the backdrop of the political turmoil involving King Charles II, Catholics, and the Whig opposition. It seeks to clarify and justify the king's declarations and actions regarding the dissolution of the last two parliaments, arguing for the legitimacy of monarchy in the face of rising dissent. In this tract, Dryden addresses specific critiques of the King's declaration and systematically refutes the arguments of his opponents. He emphasizes the need for understanding the King's intentions and the importance of public order over factionalism. Dryden articulates that the King is portrayed as a benevolent leader who is misrepresented by his political adversaries. Through a series of point-by-point rebuttals, he aims to reassure the public of the monarchy's stability and the discrediting of the seditious claims made by the Whigs, ultimately advocating for loyalty to the crown and a return to harmony in the commonwealth.
