He was an ardent royalist; and under his leadership the colony remained loyal to King Charles as long as possible.

" 74 This attitude enticed several cavalier families to settle in Vir- ginia; and as they s...trongly resented the opposition to the King, they were intolerant towards the Puritans. Governor Berkeley was instructed to see that Almighty God be duly and daily served according to the Church of England, both by himself and all the people under his charge.
