Yours c. SIR THE conjectures of men are strangely various yea of the same persons concerning the safety or danger of the King my Master Sometimes their hopes other times their fears prevail most I should be much ashamed if I were the least guilty of so universal an inquietude in so justifiable an occasion and arising from so good a ground as a Kindness and Reverence they owe to their Lawful Prince I frankly give you leave to think nor do I value the inconvenience it could draw along with it that there is not that honest expedient in the world to serve Him by that I would not hazard my self in to imploy for Him nor do I know what Earthly felicity it is could be so welcome to me as to advance a step beyond any other in my duty toward Him But my present condition refuseth me the ability of any thing else but that of invocating the favour of God for Him and making my addresses to you whom I take to be the figure that gives the denomination to the sequence of a great many Cyphers that follow you And therefore I do the rather believe that a person that signifies so much will the better apprehend what weight and signification Reason and Religion have in all Humane and Christian Actions and that these at last will make a Conquest upon all those that act without their Commission I can hardly perswade my self into I think the too common opinion that the extraordinary success and felicity that hath constantly followed your attempts who as the saying is seem to have hired fortune to serve you at day-wages hath dazled that light of understanding that formerly was usual to you You cannot forget the advantages on the House's part and the Infirmities and wants on the Kings part at the beginning of the War and that the complication of many favourable accidents on the part of your Affairs will challenge a share in the success yet is there a large room too left for your merit in Martial Conduct and you have cause enough to value your self upon a better foundation than the event of Battels and successes in War Proverbial Wisdom is not the worse because easiliest learnt It seldom happens that the same man is Happy and Wise together And if that lesson also be good That Affliction makes men understand it is the Academy in which I have been strictly disciplin'd for seven years so that I must either be an egregious Dunce or no ill Counseller for you there being a Person scarce to be found that lyeth under so dangerous a temptation of seeming prosperity and therefore fittest to be advised and counselled to Sobriety and Wisdom Of this I do assure you I do so little repine at your Prosperity and easie opportunities of fixing your self securely in it
