I have fully exprest my judgment therein, in a Treatise, (which, when published, ) I hope, will not be unacceptable to so gracious and moderat a Prince as we now have, nor to the people : I never gave an other impression, to any of our Kings, whereof, I trust, our present King will bear me witness ; and though some have been suspicious, that I have given ill characters of them, or hindred them from such places or preferments as they aimed at, yet, he knows, that at home and abroad, I have given... fa- vourable characters of many, but evil characters of none ; not that I was afraid freely to tell him the truth, if he had required it, but he did not, for he had abundance of that stuff from other hands, and much more than was acceptable to him. To shew how little I have been a changeling, or time-server — it is commonly known, and there are hundreds can witness, that I was excluded from the bar, for not taking the Usurper's tender, engaging to be faithful to the Common-wealth of England, without King or House of Lords, and never appeared again, till that tender was laid aside.
