THe great Honour and comfort I (though unworthy) have had in the knowledge and favour of that most Excellent Princesse the Queen your Mother, made mee often joy in my constant resolution to serve her Majesty and all hers, by the best wayes and meanes in my power; and therefore must be infinitely, or most heartily sorry to flie from this dwelling, even when I heare Your Excellency is comming so neere it, which howsoever, with all in or about it, is most willingly exposed to your pleasure, and Accommodation in particular, as it must also ever be commanded by his Maiesty. But Sir, let me humbly offer what my Age and experience of others wisdome and observation hath offorded my under­standing; which concludes, that the Parliament is the only firme foundation of the greatest establishment, the King, his Posterity, or Allies, can wish and attaine; the de­fence or conservation whereof, is no way to be effected but by its owne Body. And therefore if you should persist in the unhappinesse to support any advice to break the Parliament upon any pretence whatsoever; you shall concurre to destroy the best ground-work for his Maiesties prosperity; whereon there is so great dependance as makes my apprehension withdraw my pen from your farther trouble, that gaines me leave to rest
