and this says my Lord is all the Account I can give of it What is become of the Manuscript I know not and what will become of his Majesty God knows Upon this my Husband told my Lord Marquiss That in his Opinion there was no way so probable to save his Majesty's Life as by endeavouring to move the Hearts and Affections of the People as much as might be towards him and that he also thought that that Book would be very effectual for that purpose Then my Lord bad my Husband to do what he would in regard the Case was desperate Then immediately my Husband resolv'd to print it with all speed that might be he having a Copy of that which he sent to the King and that he printed was just the same only he then added the Essay upon their denying his Majesty the Attendance of his Chaplains and the Meditation of Death after the Votes of the Non-addresses and his Majesty's close Imprisonment at Carisbrook Castle Now the Instrument which my Husband employ'd to get it printed was one Mr. SIMMONDS a Divine and a great Sufferer for his Majesty and he got one Mr. ROYSTON to print it which ROYSTON never knew any thing but that it was of his Majesty's own penning my Husband did then alter the Title of it and call'd it Icon Basilike Now when it was about half printed they who were in power found the Press where it was printing and likewise a Letter of my Husbands which he sent up to the Press whereupon they destroy'd all that they then found printed but could not find out from whence the Letter came in regard it had no Name to it Notwithstanding all this my Husband attempted the printing of it again but could by no means get it finish'd till som few Days after his Majesty was destroyed When it was com out they who were then in Power were not only extremely displeas'd at it but also infinitely solicitous to find out the Author of it thinking it very improbable that his Majesty should write it in regard of the great Disturbances and Troubles which for many Years he had suffer'd or at least impossible that he should have writ it all for after the Attendance of his Chaplains was deny'd him and he a close Prisoner they well understood that he could not write any thing without their Discovery They also took that very Manuscript which my Husband had sent his Majesty and saw that it was none of his Majesty's Hand-writing Upon this they appointed a Committee to examin the Business of which my Husband having notice he went privatly in the Night away from his own House to Sir JOHN WENTWORTH'S who liv'd near Yarmouth and him he acquainted with the Business and the great Danger he was then in when Sir JOHN did not only promise to conceal him but also to convey him out of England it being in his Power to give Passes to go beyond Sea About this time Mr. SYMMONDS was taken in a Disguise but God in his Providence so order'd it that he sickned immediatly and dy'd before h● came to his Examination nor could the Committee find out any thing by any means whatever which alter'd my Husband's Resolutions of going out of England Now besides these Circumstances to a●●ert the Truth of what I say I can produce som Letters which I am sure will put it out of all Dispute My Husband contin●●d at Bo●king till the return of his Majesty King CHARLES the Second and upon his Restoration knowing his Princely Disposition did not unjustly expect a suitable Reward for his Endeavors to serve his Majesty's Father and himself in that Book And meeting with Dr. MORLEY he fell into Discourse how sensible he was of the great Service which he had don his present Majesty and the Royal Family in composing and setting forth that excellent Piece call'd the King's Book and also assur'd him that it had bin very effectual not only at home but abroad to move the Hearts and Affections of People towards his Majesty instancing in several Persons who were most exceedingly affected with it and so advantageous he said it had bin to his Majesty that according to his great Merit he might have what Preferment he desir'd Dr. MORLEY also told him That he had acquainted Sir EDWARD HYDE with the Business and that he did very much commend and admire it but we have not said he acquainted his Majesty with it but did assure him that his Majesty did set a high Value upon the Book and had commanded Dr. EARL to translate into Latin som having taken the Pains to put it into other Languages before My Husband being encouraged by this Discourse of Dr. MORLEY'S and shortly after meeting with Dr. SHELDON who he knew was not ignorant that he was the only Author of the foremention'd Book he told Dr. SHELDON that since he had bin inform'd that his Majesty out of his Princely Disposition would without doubt when once acquainted with it reward that Service which he had endeavor'd to do his Father and himself he thought it most convenient for himself and also that he might be serviceable to his Majesty in the Diocess of London a Place where he was well known if it would please his Majesty to make him Bishop of that See Dr. SHELDON was pleas'd with a great deal of Gravity to tell him that was a great Leap at first Whereupon my Husband desisted and was resolv'd to leave his Preferment to God's dispose Soon after this the King being still ignorant of what he had done he was by the Mediation of a Person perfectly ignorant of his Merit as to this Matter made Bishop of Exeter all the considerable Bishopricks being otherwise dispos'd of Not long after this it pleas'd God to visit my Husband with an Infirmity which he had great cause to fear would as it did prove mortal to him This made him resolve to acquaint the King with the whole Matter and the rather because he saw som Persons who were privy to it desir'd nothing more than to have it conceal'd and bury'd in Oblivion but my Husband was not willing it should be so in regard he had at that time four Sons living and they he thought if he should die might be capable of his Majesty's Favour Besides the Duke of Somerset was dead and the Bishop of Winchester the Person who was best able to attest it was very ill These Considerations made him go to his Majesty and having the Opportunity of discoursing privatly with him he told him the whole Matter as I have related it and for the Truth of it appeal'd to Dr. DUPPA then Bishop of Winchester and formerly his Majesty's Tutor The King then was pleas'd to entertain som Discourse with my Husband about it and said that he did often wonder how his Father should have gotten Time and Privacy enough in his Troubles to compose so excellent a Piece and written with so much Learning BY the Extract that was publish'd of
