whicli sustained the statue of Minerva . From hence he concludes that the jealousy of that great and formidable interest being * the principal hindrance of the restoring the ancient faith of the Catholic Church , and spiritual peace among her children , whosoever desires
to procure effectually that , restitution must first discuss the pretensions of the Court of Rome , inquire into their beginning ' s , and make all Christendom remark the long and dangerous consequences . For these reasons ( he says ) he begins with that part of the Cardinal's book which does concern the
primacy . And in the Preface he hints at some of the heads of his work , and gives an account of his translation of some citations ( of which I gave you o touch in my last letter on Monday last , late ) . Now , let me say a word or two as to my translation . I shall not repeat what I said , nor say more for my retaining the words sacerdot
and pontiff wherein I follow my original . I do the same in the word episcopal , and for this reason , because bishoprick in our language regards rather the benefice nor the office . I do retain the French word deference , because I cannot in one English word express the full meaning of it , for it is not so much as submission , and it is
more than acknowledgement . You will find one harsh expression in the second page , cited out of Prosper , * Dungeon of Religion / but I knew not how to help it , for it is the same word in the French , only dongeon in

which is in Latin vestigium , translated by me vestige , which I rather choosed than footstep , because it is the mark of the footstep there meant . But I shall rather expect your pardon than trouble you more about such faults as I have in this , and may in the rem < - nant commit in niy translation ; for-1 do aojt naiad the polishing of it - I y all

" In my last , I told you I had scaped a troublesome remove , and it was this : the day before the late Governor died , it did please his Council to order me forthwith to be removed to Warwick Castle , which would have been very grievous to me to be again
hurried into a strange place , and nothing is more inconvenient for a long journey than want of money , ( a disease I have long been under , ) but I bless God my wife prevailed to get the order recalled . So here I am , and shall be ready to go on in obeying you . Liberty I do not expect . <( Together with my scribbling ,
receive a copy of a sermon , which Avas given me by the author , who is a pretty man , my neighbour , and , I think , my good friend . He gave me more copies , and allowed me to send one to you , and I have many times heard him express a great respect to you .
" In my last , I desired you to send me word by whose hands 1 might convey the papers to you , that they may not miscarry , and I desired you to send any letter for me to London , and there appoint it to be delivered to Peter Cunninghame , at his house in Duke Street , near Lincoln ' s Inn
Fields . This I do because your last was ten days by the way , and I doubt was opened , for the seal was spoiled . " I am , most heartily , " Sir , " Your real friend and servant , " LAUDERjDAILL .
