Note 101 — PART I The Graces
Reading edition
“The Popish party, growing extreme perverse in the Commons House, and the Parliament thereby in great danger to have been lost in a storm, had so taken up all my thoughts and endeavours that, for five or six days, it was not almost possible for me to take an account how business went among them of the clergy.”—Wentworth to Laud, December 16, 1634. (Ibid., I., 342-345.)
