Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Edward Earl of Clarendon, Vol. 3: Lord High Chancellor of England, and Chancellor of the University of Oxford; In Which Is Included a Continuation of His History of the Grand Rebellion Their malice was most against the chancellor: yet they knew not what suggestions to make to the king against him, having always pretended to his majesty, how falsely soever, to have a great esteem of him. Their project therefore was to remove the treasurer, who was as weary of his office and of the court as any body could be of him: but his reputation was so great, his wisdom so unquestionable, and his integrity so confessed, that they knew in neither of those points he could be impeached. And the king himself had kindness and reverence towards him, though he had for some years thought him less active, and so less fit for that administration, than every body else knew him to be: and these men had long insinuated unto his majesty, "how ill all the business of the exchequer was managed by the continual infirmities of the treasurer, who, between the gout and the stone, had not ease enough to attend the painful function of that office, but left the whole to be managed and governed by his secretary sir Philip Warwick;" upon whose experience and fidelity he did in truth much rely, as he had reason to do, his reputation for both being very signal and universal. And towards fastening this reproach they had the contribution of the lord Ashley, who was good at looking into other men´s offices, and was not pleased to see sir Philip Warwick´s credit greater than his with the treasurer, and his advice more followed.
