Just Holt But you have heard him call him King William too Mr. Sweet Yes Mr. Cowper But pray when he spoke of the King what King did you understand by it Sweet I used to understand King James Parkyns What is that to me what he understood L. Ch. Just Holt But I would observe to you one thing when you came from Leicester-shire you talk'd how well disposed they were to the King's Interest he says he understood that King to be King James and you said the West was as well disposed as the North pray now were you imployed by King William to see how the Gentlemen stood affected to him Parkyns No nor by King James neither L.
