ador at the English court, Don Pedro de Ronquillo, in a letter
to the governor of the Low Countries written about this time, sneers
at Monmouth for living on the bounty of a fond woman, and hints a very
unfounded suspicion that the Duke's passion was altogether interested.
"Hallandose hoy tan falto de medios que ha menester trasformarse en Amor
con Miledi en vista de la ecesidad de poder subsistir."--Ronquillo to
Grana. Mar. 30,/Apr. 9, 1685.]

the Anabapist Nicholas Look, whose name was spelled Locke in Grey's
Confession, and who is mentioned in the Lansdowne MS. 1152, and in the
Buccleuch narrative appended to Mr. Rose's dissertation. I should hardly
think it necessary to make this remark, but that the similarity of
the two names appears to have misled a man so well acquainted with the
history of those times as Speaker Onslow. See his note on Burnet, i,
629.]
