Note 112 — Chapter XIV · THE REIGN OF JAMES II.
Reading edition
"This defection of those his majesty had hitherto put the greatest confidence in [Clarendon and Rochester], and the sullen disposition of the church of England party in general, made him think it necessary to reconcile another; and yet he hoped to do it in such a manner as not to disgust quite the church-man neither." Life of James, ii. 102.
