a
paper
out

Mr.
Wood
,
I
hear
that
some
are
pleased
to
say
that
my
Father
was
not
the
Author
of
but
it
is
no
great
wonder
that
those
,
who
have
been
so
injurious
to
him
in
all
other
respects
,
should
not
spare
his
Memory
in
an
Affair
of
this
Nature
;
however
I
will
let
you
see
how
great
a
Calumny
this
is
.
the
whole
Book
written
all
in
his
Fathers
hand
,
together
with
a
Letter
from
his
Father
concerning
it
to
him
:
But
,
Mr.
that
you
may
not
entertain
any
scruple
about
the
hand
,
here
are
several
of
my
fathers
Letters
to
me
,
all
written
in
his
own
hand
,
take
any
of
them
,
and
compare
the
hands
together
.
So
That
he
was
fully
convinc'd
,
that
the
Book
and
the
Letter
about
it
,
were
all
written
in
his
Fathers
hand
.
Now
,
Mr.
I
appeal
to
you
,
whether
or
no
my
Father
would
have
ever
written
over
a
Book
,
that
was
not
his
own
,
and
have
sent
such
a
Letter
to
me
about
it
.
that
he
was
highly
oblig'd
to
his
Majesty
for
the
honour
he
had
done
him
,
in
having
shew'd
him
such
Authentick
proof
of
his
Father's
being
the
Author
of
that
Book
:
he
had
indeed
heard
that
some
persons
did
question
it
;
but
now
he
was
so
parswaded
of
the
truth
of
it
,
that
he
thought
himself
oblig'd
in
conscience
to
do
the
King
his
Father
justice
,
by
vindicating
his
Memory
in
that
point
,
as
he
should
have
any
occasion
for
doing
it
.
That
he
was
as
much
convinced
that
King
the
First
was
the
Auhor
of
that
Book
,
as
he
could
be
that
one
was
the
Author
of
a
Book
which
he
had
not
seen
him
write
.
William
Allen
He
said
most
people
thought
his
Master
to
be
the
Author
of
it
,
I
could
never
believe
it
,
for
some
reasons
I
then
gave
him
.
He
believed
he
could
say
more
to
that
business
than
any
man
besides
him
,
for
that
Dr.
told
him
he
had
borrowed
the
Book
,
and
was
oblig'd
to
return
it
by
such
a
time
;
That
(
besides
what
other
time
he
might
imploy
in
it
)
he
sat
up
one
whole
night
to
transcribe
it
.
That
he
sat
up
in
the
Chamber
with
him
,
to
wait
upon
him
,
to
make
his
fires
and
snuff
his
Candles
.
the
Book
was
borrowed
of
Mr.
one
of
the
Kings
Chaplains
That
to
my
knowledge
could
read
and
write
very
well
,
and
so
could
not
easily
be
deceived
,
either
in
the
Book
,
or
in
his
Masters
hand
,
tho'
the
Doctor
had
not
told
him
that
it
was
none
of
his
.

the

Icon
Basilike
was
pleased
some
few
days
after
he
had
retired
from
his
Parliament
,
to
communicate
his
thoughts
in
his
Garden
at
's
,
to
some
of
his
Gentlemen
who
were
nearest
to
him
,
and
of
whose
intimacy
and
abilities
he
stood
most
confident
,
how
he
had
set
pen
to
paper
to
vindicate
his
innocency
,
in
the
first
place
,
by
shewing
the
Reasons
he
had
of
receding
from
the
Parliament
,
and
that
not
so
much
as
one
line
had
fallen
from
his
pen
,
which
with
Honour
he
might
not
confirm
:
And
then
told
us
his
next
Essay
should
take
its
discourse
from
the
faithfullest
Servant
and
most
incomparable
Statesman
that
any
Prince
could
rely
on
,
condemning
himself
for
suffering
his
hand
to
thwart
the
resolution
of
his
heart
,
&c.
that
the
King
told
him
,
that
as
his
morning
Devotions
took
up
the
first
part
of
the
day
,
so
he
ever
reserved
the
next
for
these
Meditations
he
had
now
in
hand
.
those
Divine
Meditations
were
siezed
by
the
Enemy
,
with
other
Papers
of
concern
,
being
inclosed
in
a
Cabinet
reserved
for
that
purpose
;
and
that
by
the
Benignity
of
the
Conqueror
,
or
Divine
Providence
rather
,
it
was
recovered
above
all
Expectance
,
and
returned
to
his
Majesty's
hand
;
and
which
infinitely
cheered
him

Men

thought

of

satisfied
the
King
in
that
matter
the
Marquis
had
told
him
his
Father
was
the
Author
of

That
when
was
publish'd
,
it
enraged
the
Parliament
so
,
that
her
Husband
,
concerning
his
Life
and
Estate
in
Danger
,
fled
to
Sir

near
intending
thence
to
pass

,

her

not
being
discover'd
,
be
alter'd

return'd

None
but
Mr.
knew
that
Doctor
had
taken
a
Copy
of
the
King's
Book
(
which
as
things
then
stood
was
a
very
high
Crime
,
if
the
Party
should
be
discover'd
who
had
testifi'd
so
much
affection
to
the
King
as
to
transcribe
it
)
the
Dr.
therefore
fled
,
but
hearing
Mr.
was
dead
,
who
he
knew
was
the
only
man
could
hurt
him
by
a
discovery
,
he
return'd

he
must
have
been
in
Danger
of

from

(
who
are

being

tho
,
by
the
way
,
it
was
never

as
much
or
rather
more
than
from
Mr.
who
was
the
Kings
Chaplain
and
one
of
his
fastest
Friends
,
even
to
Death
:
Therefore
had
Dr.
been
afraid
of

discover'd
for
the

not

)
he
would
not
have
return'd
till
all

had
been
dead
as
well
as
or
at

till
a
change

came

it

be
more
safe
to
return
