But to let the World see that Monsieur _de Cros_ has no Malice in his Heart, but that he really designs Sir _W. T_'s Good, he condescends p. 5. to give him wholesome Advice, and sets him Copies to write after. To this purpose he recommends to his Perusal _the Memoirs of_ Villeroy, _the Negotiations of_ Jeanin, _and the Letters of Cardinal_ Dossat, _in all which there reigns a Spirit of Sincerity and Modesty_. Sir _W. T._ never presum'd to set himself in Competition with any of those illustrious Persons; he is no Stranger to their Merits or Character, but is afraid that Monsieur _de Cros_ has proposed some Models to him which he never intends to follow himself. It was not Sir _W. T_'s Bookseller that called him _One of the greatest Men of this Age_, as Monsieur _de Cros_ falsely insinuates, _p. 5._ but a reverend Prelate of our Church, who published the _Memoirs_ without the Author's Consent or Privity; and who, in his Advertisement to the Reader, does not stile him _Un des Grands Hommes de ce Siecle_, as Monsieur _du Cros_ maliciously has printed it, but only _an Ornament to Learning and to his Country_: So that this being a Mystery to no body in _England_, he wonders how some People come to make such Blunders about it in _Holland_. But by this and several Instances of the like Nature, any man may easily guess what famous Exploits Monsieur _de Cros_ designs to perform with the Help of his _Hero_. To make good the Charge of Presumption with which Monsieur _de Cros_ taxes the Author of the Memoirs, he cites a Passage, _p. 6._ which be found accidentally at the first opening of his Book; and assures his Noble Lord, that he doubts not but he shall be able in a short time to produce several others to the same Effect. _The Negotiations which I had managed at the_ Hague, _at_ Brussels, _and at_ Aix la Chappelle, _and saved_ Flanders _out of the hands of France in 1668, made them believe that I had some Credit amongst the_ Spaniards, _as well as in_ Holland. Indeed, as he has cited this Passage, any one would believe, that all the Glory and Merit of Preserving _Flanders_ was intirely owing to Sir _W. T_'s Conduct; and with this wrong Scent Monsieur _de Cros_ runs along very furiously, talks of erecting Statues, of the Ingratitude of _Spain_ and _Holland_, with abundance of other bitter things, with which his Indignation plentifully furnishes him at all times. But our Comfort is, that this Passage is nothing near so criminal and arrogant in the Original as our Letter-monger would have it; and therefore it may not be _mal à propos_ to cite it fairly. [A]_This I suppose gave some Occasion for my being again design'd for this Ambassy, who was thought to have some Credit with_ Spain _as well as_ Holland, _from the Negotiations I had formerly run through at the_ Hague, Brussels, _and_ Aix la Chapelle, _by which the remaining Parts of_ Flanders _had been saved out of the Hands of_ France _in the Year 1668._ In the first Citation it looks as if Sir _W.
