he particular care he had in _Flanders_ of
the education of the E. of _Plym._ one of the Ks. Sons, He did nothing
but report up and down, that the King gave the Authors of the Address,
presented to his Majesty, by the House of Commons no better name than
Rogues. The King had his liberty to reject this Address, as indeed he
did, and no ways apprehended the Consequences of it at that time; yet
for all that, he banished _Don Bern. de Salinas_, not in the least
considering his Character, nor the Kindness wherewith he had always
honoured this Minister; Yea and he Banished him too, without any
respect to the King of _Spain_.

But, for me who had abused and deceived the D. of _York_, My Lord
Treasurer, ay, and the K. himself, who had overthrown all those fair
and vast Projects, which the Confederates had contrived at _London_
and _Nimeguen_; and Sir _W. T._ at the _Hague_, which had disclosed
the Kings dispatches, a _master piece of Secrecy, who was the cause of
quite changing the Fate of Christendom_: for me, I say, against whom
the P. of _Orange_ had written, and caused to be written so many
thundering Letters, against whom all the Ministers of the Confederates
called for Vengeance; against whom Sir _W. T._ levelled more of his
endeavours to destroy me than the Court did to repair this Breach, and
patch up the business, it lets me alone, it does not make the least
complaint to the Duke my Master; the K. does me a great many favours,
and laughs in his Sleeve at the Surprise, at the Sorrow, and
Complaints of the Confederates, and Sir _W. T._

After all that, can any body reasonably believe that the K. of
_England_ might have lookt upon me as _a Rogue_: And when he told Sir
_W. T._ after a droleing manner that I was a _Rogue and had out witted
them all_, may it not be probable, that he had a mind to jeer him,
and to make him sensible that he was taken but for Fool? It was very
like so to be.

I have not gone about, My Lord, to say in this place what I might say,
to wipe of all those scandalous impressions that Sir _W. T._ hath such
a desire to fasten upon me; I suppose I have given your Lordship
sufficiently to understand, that what he hath been pleased to say upon
this Theme of me, proceeds from inveterate Spite and Malice.

But, what way is there to get clear of one of the most Haughty, and
most Revengeful of men, who in his Memoires falls foul upon the
reputation even of the greatest Minister, who casts aspersions on the
