298 Penn's visits to Whitehall， and levees at Kensington， are described with great vivacity， though in very bad Latin， by Gerard Croese. "Sumebat，" he says， "rex s鎝e secretum， non horarium， vero horarum plurium， in quo de variis rebus cum Penno serio sermonem conferebat， et interim differebat audire pr鎐ipuorum nobilium ordinem， qui hoc interim spatio in procone， in proximo， regem conventum pr鎠to erant." Of the crowd of suitors at Penn's house. Croese says， "Visi quandoquo de hoc genere hominum non minus bis centum."--Historia Quakeriana， lib. ii. 1695.
299 "Twenty thousand into my pocket； and a hundred thousand into my province." Penn's Letter to Popple."300 These orders， signed by Sunderland， will be found in Sewel's History. They bear date April 18， 1685. They are written in a style singularly obscure and intricate： but I think that I have exhibited the meaning correctly. I have not been able to find any proof that any person， not a Roman Catholic or a Quaker， regained his freedom under these orders. See Neal's History of the Puritans， vol. ii. chap. ii.； Gerard Croese， lib. ii. Croese estimates the number of Quakers liberated at fourteen hundred and sixty.

Lord Howard of Escrick accused Ayloffe of proposing to assassinate the Duke of York； but Lord Howard was an abject liar；and this story was not part of his original confession， but was added afterwards by way of supplement， and therefore deserves no credit whatever.

The Spanish ambassador at the English court， Don Pedro de Ronquillo， in a letter to the governor of the Low Countries written about this time， sneers at Monmouth for living on the bounty of a fond woman， and hints a very unfounded suspicion that the Duke's passion was altogether interested.
