Hence an opinion came to prevail among all parties, that he would remove his nephew from the succession, and supply his place with a more obse- quious candidate for the royal favour.' Eeports of the king's supposed inten- tions were forwarded with due exag- geration to WilUam, and the alarm which they created in his mind formed the bond that connected him with the exiles in Holland and the disafieoted in England. He stood in need of their help to defend his claim, they stood in need of his to d...ethrone the king. In quality of stadtholder, he had the command of the army in the United Provinces, and hence had been able to control the will of the king with respect to the English regi- ments, but he had no control over the admiralties, and yet a formidable fleet was as necessary for his purpose as a formidable army. On this account equal wisdom he concluded from some words which he elicited from the Danish ambas- sador, that Prince George, the husband of Anne, was willing also to change his re- gion, if that change were to be rewarded with the first place in the succession.
