"It was for something of this kind that got air, and out of great Tenderness to Mr. Lock that my Grandfather in the year 1674 sent him abroad to travell: an Improvement wch my Gd father was gladd to add to those he had allready given him. His Health servd as a very just Excuse: he being consumptive as early in his Life as that was. So that having travelld thro' France he went[2] to Montpelier and there stayd for some time. He returnd again to my Gd Fathers in the year 1678, and remaind in his Family till the year 1682: wch was the year that my Gd Father retird into Holland and there dyed. Mr. Lock who was to have soon followd him thither, was not prevented in the voyage, by this Death: but found it safest for him to retire thither, and there lived (at our good Friend Mr. Furly's of Rotterdam) till the happy Revolution of King William, wch restord him to his native Country and to other Publick offices of greater Note, wch by fresh Meritts he deserv'd: witness his then Publishd Books of Government, Trade and Coin: by wch he had as considerably servd the State, as he had done the Church and Protestant Interest by his defence of Toleration and support of the Revolution-Principles.
