But nothing touches him so nearly as the following Passage in the same _335th_ page of the Memoirs: _This man brought me a Pacquet from Court, commanding me to go immediately away to _Nimeguen__. Upon which, says he, _Pag. 16._ _Sir _W. T._ has a mind to make men believe that I was only sent into _Holland_ to carry him a Dispatch from the Court_. This passage has so fiercely gall'd him, that he is set a railing for six pages together; and the affront is, that he should be taken for an ordinary Courier, or Messenger. Had a dozen Wasps setled on his Tongue, they could not have swell'd or infus'd more Poison in it; he frets and foams at the mouth, and spatters so much Dirt on all sides, that it is not safe following him. In short, he takes it so heinously to be reckoned a Common Courier, that one could not have netled him more, had one call'd him a Post, or a Post-horse. I cannot imagine why any such words in the _Memoirs_, should put a man into so much passion: And for my part, both in this and all the rest, I see but one reason why he is angry; and that is, _Because he is angry_. However, against this grievous Imputation, he defends himself by this strong Argument; That _he was not sent over on purpose to deliver the Dispatch to Sir _W. T._ but for something of greater importance, which he knows himself, and will not tell any body_. Wherein I think he acts very discreetly; and I do not doubt, but the best way to give any Reputation to his mighty Secrets, is to hinder them from taking Air: Tho had he done us the favour to discover but one of all those he boasts so much of, it would perhaps have been the most effectual way to raise our expectation of the rest. He would indeed make us believe, that in five Hours time he stay'd at the _Hague_, he had made some mighty Turn of State by his Negotiations there; which if there be any truth in it, we will grant him to have been not only an _Agent_, but a _Conjurer_; and from the strange Effect of his Conduct in that strange _Adventure of five hours_, we may hope one day to see a _Tragedy of that Name_, as there has been a _Comedy_ already. But till he thinks fit to make more important Discoveries, he will pardon our suspense in that modest Opinion he has of himself, That doubtless he should publish more just and solid _Memoirs_ than Sir _W. T._ if he would set about it. But I observe he desires _My Lord to take notice, that Sir _W. T._ confesses it was _De Cros_ procured this Dispatch_. I find when men are very angry, that Truth is the least thing they regard: For this is more than ever I could observe after reading those _Memoirs_ with more care and application than I am sure his good humour would ever permit him; and in _pag. 336._ find these Words: _How this Dispatch by _De Cros_ was gain'd, or by whom, I will not pretend to determine_. Which _De Cros_ has very politickly thus altered, _Letter, pag. 18._ _I will not pretend to determine by what means, and how _De Cros_ obtained this Dispatch_. But
