Now my Lord, in the Diary that came along with this (for there was a Diary of all Titus his Negotiations) in that Diary it did appear, that the King was very much satisfied with the correspondents application to him, and that that should be a main argument to him to satisfy ⟨p. 15⟩the Scots. So my Lord, if they had not thus moderated, and persuaded the King that they were a very considerable party, he would never, in all probability, have closed with the Scots, but have thought them very inconsiderable. But when he was informed, that if he closed with the Scots, he should have a considerable party in England, that made him think the Scots were worth the closing with. My Lord, Titus in his Negotiation at Jersey did assure the King, that the Ministers were averse to the present Government, both in pulpit and in print, and that they were well-affected to serve him and the Nation, and that the Nation was ready to espouse his quarrel if he did join with the Scots. This he did assure him in the behalf of the Ministers. And to show how they did own this, they did like this assurance so well, that they sent him another Letter; and they did likewise send him a Letter of thanks for his good service he had done, in possessing the King how considerable they were. My Lord, after this business of Jersey, when Titus had done his good service there, he was coming home to make his relation; but hea•ing by the way, that the Council of State had intercepted some Letters, he durst not come farther then Calais; and from thence he sends a Letter, to let them know all this; and withal, that he had something to communicate to these conspirators, that was not fit to be communicated by Letter, and therefore desired that some meet person might be sent to Calais. Thereupon, this Letter being read in Mr. Loves study (so secretly was it carried) there it was agreed, that Major Alford should be the man that should go to Titus, and should receive all this account from him. Whereupon Alford he went away to Titus presently, and there he did speak to him, and Titus did acquaint him with all these proceedings; and withal they did advise, that a Commission should be sent in the later part of the Letter. So that now they had no more to do, but since their hopes failed them at Jersey, to have an eye to the Treaty at Breda, where they desired to send Commissioners.
