First lines
My Lord, I have been informed of the Calumnies that Sir "W. T." hath caused to be Printed against me. I know very well that Sir "W." is of great Worth, and deserves well; and that he hath been a long time employed, and that too upon important occasions; but I am as certain, that he had but a small share in the Secrecy of the late King "Charles"s Designs in the greatest part of the Affairs, for which he was employed, from 72, till 79, which is the main Subject of his Work.
