author of this pamphlet I have no clue to discover , nor is the design of the publication , if it were at all political , to nre apparent . At the end are eight Latin verses , addressed In malevolus hvjus nor tatiunvvfte * obtrectatores .

The contriver of this Conference was scarcely a republican , but rather a friend to a well-limited monarchy , ruling only by " Parliaments . In religion , he wag probably ^ Protestan t , incliu . ed to a compromise with Roman Catholics . Ft is remarkable
