"It was for something of this kind that got air, and out of great Tenderness to Mr. Lock that my Grandfather in the year 1674 sent him abroad to travell: an Improvement w^{ch} my G^d father was gladd to add to those he had allready given him. His Health servd as a very just Excuse: he being consumptive as early in his Life as that was. So that having travelld thro' France he went[2] to Montpelier and there stayd for some time. He returnd again to my G^d Fathers in the year 1678, and remaind in his Family till the year 1682: w^{ch} was the year that my G^d Father retird into Holland and there dyed. Mr. Lock who was to have soon followd him thither, was not prevented in the voyage, by this Death: but found it safest for him to retire thither, and there lived (at our good Friend Mr. Furly's of Rotterdam) till the happy Revolution of King William, w^{ch} restord him to his native Country and to other Publick offices of greater Note, w^{ch} by fresh Meritts he deserv'd: witness his then Publishd Books of Government, Trade and Coin: by w^{ch} he had as considerably servd the State, as he had done the Church and Protestant Interest by his defence of Toleration and support of the Revolution-Principles. "But of this part of his Life, you need no Information. "Thus far I have made mention of Mr. Lock as to his station in Publick affaires, under my Grandfather. Now as to his Service in private affaires, and the Concerns of a Family, w^{ch} was, in every respect, so happy in him, that he seem as a good Guardian Angel sent to bless it.
