of_o the_o bishop_n a_o little_a before_o the_o late_a wonderful_a revolution_n which_o though_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o be_v not_o so_o general_o know_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v yet_o i_o be_o sure_a have_v a_o very_a considerable_a effect_n for_o the_o benefit_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n in_o that_o critical_a time_n and_o therein_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o say_v that_o i_o have_v some_o part_n so_o that_o when_o i_o come_v to_o that_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v more_o free_o and_o shall_v venture_v to_o insist_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o manifest_a proof_n to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o bishop_n have_v then_o as_o difficult_a a_o post_n to_o maintain_v and_o maintain_v it_o as_o firm_o as_o any_o other_o order_n of_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n can_v do_v they_o for_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_a as_o well_o as_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n first_o my_o lord_n as_o for_o the_o book_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v often_o hear_v that_o some_o noble_a and_o eminent_a person_n who_o kindred_n or_o friend_n be_v unhappy_o concern_v in_o the_o subject_a of_o that_o history_n have_v entertain_v a_o prejudice_n against_o i_o thereupon_o but_o to_o they_o i_o shall_v make_v this_o equitable_a request_n that_o they_o will_v suspend_v any_o far_a censure_n of_o i_o for_o what_o i_o do_v write_v till_o they_o shall_v be_v fair_o inform_v how_o much_o there_o be_v that_o i_o have_v not_o write_v i_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v at_o the_o request_n or_o rather_o the_o command_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o that_o i_o draw_v up_o a_o relation_n of_o that_o plot_n and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o have_v free_a liberty_n to_o

deposition_n and_o confession_n as_o have_v be_v always_o think_v the_o best_a ground_n for_o a_o historian_n to_o work_v upon_o but_o now_o my_o lord_n i_o can_v still_o allege_v that_o though_o a_o vast_a heap_n of_o such_o matter_n be_v immediate_o supply_v to_o my_o hand_n and_o though_o i_o often_o receive_v earnest_a message_n and_o some_o sharp_a word_n from_o that_o gentle_a king_n to_o quicken_v my_o slowness_n yet_o more_o than_o twelve_o month_n have_v pass_v before_o i_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o put_v pen_n to_o paper_n out_o of_o my_o natural_a aversion_n to_o any_o business_n that_o may_v reflect_v severe_o upon_o any_o man_n my_o own_o inclination_n rather_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o other_o extreme_a that_o be_v rather_o to_o commend_v too_o much_o what_o in_o the_o least_o seem_v well-done_a than_o to_o aggravate_v what_o be_v ill-done_a by_o other_o however_o upon_o king_n charles_n frequent_a command_n and_o continue_a importunity_n i_o do_v at_o length_n obey_v and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o have_v former_o somewhat_o incur_v that_o king_n be_v and_o his_o brother_n displeasure_n by_o my_o decline_a to_o write_v against_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n during_o

matter_n of_o fact_n which_o have_v escape_v my_o observation_n thus_o the_o work_n stand_v in_o preparation_n for_o the_o press_n when_o the_o deplorable_a death_n of_o that_o king_n happen_v and_o short_o after_o king_n james_n the_o second_o call_n for_o the_o paper_n and_o have_v read_v they_o and_o alter_v divers_a passage_n cause_v they_o to_o be_v print_v by_o his_o own_o authority_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v before_o the_o book_n but_o now_o my_o lord_n i_o can_v true_o declare_v that_o during_o my_o compose_v those_o collection_n i_o earnest_o request_v king_n charles_n the_o second_o and_o your_o lordship_n know_v as_o well_o as_o any_o man_n how_o agreeable_a such_o a_o request_n be_v to_o the_o benign_a temper_n of_o that_o king_n i_o request_v he_o i_o say_v that_o
