To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He committed himfelf to aflbciates, few of whom had any of his virtues, and therefore few deferved his confidence : moft of them proved to be mean, unprincipled cowards, and either fled, or gave evidence againfl him. His headlong party-fpirit over- maflered the forethought and circumfpeAion, fo indif^ penfable in all difficult enterprizes. The refources at his command were altogether unequal to the end pro- pofed. We may, therefore, believe that he had no genius to realize the afpirations of a ...fervid mind.
The only evidence we have of real greatnefs of cha- rafter is the heroic calmnefs of his death, which was worthy of all praife.
Various opinions mufl ever continue to exift as to the merits of RufTell and Sidney, but for the condudl of Monmouth in this plot againfl his father not a word of extenuation can be offered : it bears the deep dye of ingratitude. The King did not doubt that he had entertained the defign of his afTaffination ; for he proclaimed him a traitor, offered 500/. reward for his feizure, and in a declaration, which was read in every Church throughout the land, he deliberately charged this fon of his affeftion with having joined in a " treafonable confpiracy againfl his facred perfon and Digitized by VjOOQIC 272 Life ^Thomas Ken, [1685 government." And now he fhowed, by his treacherous and craven conduft how unworthy he was of the con- fidence of any man.
