To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The King was known both before and after to have dealt in such practices : such as the murder of the Earl of Moray and the deaths of Lady Arabella Stuart and Sir Walter Raleigh. Is it likely that Cowrie and his brother could think of making the King a prisoner or murdering him, when they knew they could not escape condign punishment instantly ? for the King and his escort were for the time masters of Cowrie House ; Cowrie and his brother were at their mercy, and suffered accordingly. The story ...of the man with the pot of gold, and the tale of the man in the closet, we have no authority for but the King's word, while one who could be guilty of such a murder would not hesitate to contrive to conceal it; and the King's relation of both de- stroyed all possibility of credit. The news of Cowrie's death reached Edinburgh next morning. The Privy Council ordered the ministers to convene their people and give thanks to Cod for the King's deliverance, and to read from the pulpit the account sent from Falkland by the King of Cowrie's con- spiracy ; but the first account translated by the Privy Council was indistinct, exaggerated and con- tradictory.
