Lord Oxford knows it; all his family and friends know it; but it is to be done with great circumspection.

It is now too late to publish a pamphlet, and too early to publish a History.
"It was always my opinion, that the best way of doing honour to the treasurer, was to write a History of the Peace of Utrecht, beginning with a short preamble concerning the calamitous state of our debt, and ending with the breaking our army, and restoring the civil power; that these great things were completed under the administration of the Earl of Oxford, and this should be his epitaph.

Lord Bolingbroke is undoubtedly writing a History, but I believe will not live to finish it, because he takes it up too high, viz.

from the Restoration.

In all probability he'll cut and slash Lord Oxford.
