Letter IV . K € Windsor Castle , " 4 th . November , 1658 . <( Reverend and much-honoured , " A CCORDING to my promise _/\ this day se ' nni # ht , ( not having heard from you since I Sent my last three letters to you , ) you shall here receive the contents of P . Moulin ' s book :
not all the contents , but all that relates to antiquity , or might , in my opinion , be for your purpose . By this you can better judge of the book comparatively
with Blondel than I can , seeing you have a table of the contents of both ; yet you shall have my opinion also on a cursory view . Both of them answer one book of Card . Perron , but Moulin
handles most of the controversies with the Papists , and Blondel that only concerning the Pope ' s pretended primacy , wherein he is so large that Blondel ' s book is twice as big ( though but on that one point ) as Moulin ' s . And , indeed , Blondel in that book
shews himself to have been versed in antiquity , even to allmiration , which makes me regret that he should have misspent so much precious time in his latter days-as to write two great
volumes on a subject so below a dream , even on the genealogies of the Kings of France . I never saw those volumes , but by the title I conjecture they were a work fitter for a herald or a lawyer than a divines And now that
misspent tune is irrecoverable , for he is now with Gpd ^ ai > d b efore the Lord called him he lost his eyp& , qs he tells us in his preface before DaJJei A pologia . One wprj * of . his 1 have now by IIie

Letter V . " Reverend and much-honoured Sir , " Yours of the 5 th and of the 9 th of this month came to me much about a time . The reason of my delay of the answer hath proceeded from my desire to clear you from those prejudices
which the reading of great Usher De primbrdiis Eccles . Britan . hath ( as I do humbly conceive ) cast you into . Your letter hath made me go over that book , and my desire to have my
country stand right in your esteem , ( which I more value than I will tell you , ) hath made me bestow some time to let you see that the more I search the more I am convinced that I was
not mistaken as to the soil . But ray scribblings on that subject shall be with you in a week ; and till then I pray you keep one ear open . " As to your desires , seeing" my translations can be of no more use to
you , I shall forbear . Yet I shall take tkat walk through all BlondePs book which you appoint , and pick what flowers I can find fit for your purpose , to make you a posy ^ Pa rdon me if it take some time , I am a slow student , and before I received yours was engaged in a task which will , take me to the end of next week . Thereafter I
do promise you the half of my time of reading every day , except the JLio ^ d / g day , till it be done ; and I hope tQ send the account of . ipy . labpur a ^ out the beginning of January , for a nevv year ' s g ift . I am glad jWouUn ' s bapk is so Far advanced . , j £ y tlie Jadbi I guess what is for your purpose i » in those
