These books were written by Mr. Reynolds, Viscount Fielding's
tutor, and for so doing he was imprisoned. They displeased the king
much.[35]
In a letter from John Locke to Carleton, dated July 11th, 1624, the
writer says "A poor man is in trouble for printing a book called
Votiva Angliæ; the Commission Court were about to liberate him,
when the king ordered him to be remanded and to pay £1000 fine, as
he was said to have gained £1000 by the book."
In or about the year 1626, Reynolds, who was then a prisoner in
the Fleet, addressed a petition to the Council in which he stated
that he was forced from France by order of the late king, and on
his arrival in England was committed to prison for being the
author of the "Votiva Angliæ," in which he deplored the loss of the
Palatinate, and desired its restitution, which "every true hearted
Englishman ought to wish and pray for;" and that he had been
imprisoned full two years, during which time he incurred a debt of
£300 for his maintenance; also that he owed sixty and odd pounds
for which he was surety, and was threatened to be arrested for the
same as soon as he was at liberty; and he concludes by praying for
protection against arrest for one year.[36]
