Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...as mouths of livi'g and present observers, speaking of truth to them well known, were long guarded with care, but it will be recall'd to your minde, doubtles, that in Queene Elizabeth no sense of justice was so strong as her loves, though her self-love overmaster'd everie emotion. It will make cleere, perhaps, her manifesto delight when mine of my hopes came by the destruction of said papers, and her refusall to make due restitution to mysclfe.

Brieflie, 'tis, as you may have learnt in Cypher workes such as this, a prerogative of my birth, th' power that is shewn in the outward and visible signs of royall throne, scepter, robes and crowne, --mine the coveted stile, Bex.
