King James to Clarendon, April 6, 1686, in Clarendon and Rochester Corres., vol. i. Clarendon to Rochester and to the King, April 17: ‘Your Majesty’s often gracious professions that the Acts of Settlement shall not be touched, does extremely quiet the minds of men,’ ib. Sunderland to Clarendon, June 14, ib. Writing to Rochester on October 12, Clarendon says: ‘In almost every letter I have had the honour to receive from the King he has declared the Acts of Settlement must not be touched, and that he will support the English interest,’ ib. vol. ii. After this date he began to see more clearly, and on January 4 received a copy of the Coventry letter, which left no doubt as to Tyrconnel’s plans, ib. ii. 142.
