To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Li'l selected Councillors, referring them to Sir John Digbyfnr all particulars, and asking for their advice. Upon a full review of all the circumstances they agreed that his Maj- esty might with honor enter into a treaty of mari'iage, and enter openly, and by giving commission under his great seal. Bacon was one of these, and may be fairly held responsible for concurring in the affirmative opinion. Now we have seen that about a year and a half before, he had said in a letter to the King that th...ough the vumor of a match with Spain might be of use, he " should not • easily advise that it should be really effected ; " and in what respect, it may be asked, was the case changed so as to justify a change in his opinion? The change, I imagine, was not so much in the case itself as in his knowledge of it. It is one thing to advise a man against a particular marriage when you suppose him to stand quite free, and another when you know him to have given the lady just reason to expect an offer.
