Reading edition
Pamphlet of 1643 on the elections of 1640: ‘We elected such as were not known to us by any virtue, but only by crossness to superiors.’ Montereuil reports about the same time that the elections had begun ‘par le choix des personnes, que l’on croit moins portées à favoriser le roi d’Angleterre.’
