<P>THere is a paper of the twen|ty &s;eventh In&s;tant, (intituled His <HI>Maje&s;ties Declaration</HI>) made publike, it is patronized upon the King, but I a&s;&s;ure you, <HI>His Ma|je&s;ty</HI>
<PB N="4" REF="3">is much abu&s;ed in it; he hath many times to my &s;elfe and others expre&s;&s;ed not onely his di&s;avowing, but utter di&s;like of it; at fir&s;t it &s;om|thing troubled him, but it being &s;o unlike any thing of his, and &s;o con|trary to his knowne intentions, he was confident it would not gaine credence with any; yet &s;ince, hearing that divers both in City and Coun|try, and Army, were &s;o fondly cre|dulous as to deeme it to be His Ma|je&s;ties, and &s;o were much offended at it, it was the Kings Command <HI>J</HI> &s;hould certifie my friends how ex|treamely he is wronged, and truly Sir, you would do the King but right, and di&s;charge J conceive no more then your own duty to indea|vour
<PB N="5" REF="3">the finding out the Author, and making him exemplary, and <HI>J</HI> am confident the King expects &s;o much ju&s;tice therein.

<PB N="6" REF="4">day. The Lord Convoway hath taken his leave of the Court for pre&s;ent, I have no more to acquaint you with; I &s;hall onely againe mind you, that to vindicate the King by di&s;covering and puni&s;hing the Libeller cannot but give great &s;atisfaction to his Maje&s;ty: I remaine,</P>
