ETTRE HCDJCCIT

Le Duc et York au Prince cC Orange, Attitude menaçante deit Whigs.

Windsor, April 27 1688.

I bave now receved yours of the 29, bij which I see you were very sone to go to the Hage, and from thence to Hopsiardike , where it will be very good being at this season of the yeare, and what yoa bave in thunder and raine we hâve in wind, we having not had above one calme day this great while. The Whigs bave a mind to immitat the season and to raake a storme amongst the people, as well it is in the aire, and to that purpose do what they can to revive the plot and make disorders; bot, in doing it, they shew their malice is greater then their judgement , as witnesse what they bave done latly to the Lord-Major and some of the Aldermen, and their silly contrivance of a new plot by one Lewis; it woold be to long to informe you of both thèse a£Fairs , besids that yoa will certainly bave an account of them from others, so that I need not repeat them to you, and shall ad no more at présent but that you shall find no altération in my kindnesse to you.
