Chapter 46, Footnote #32
James' and the Dutch peace
The plan of accommodation which James recommended is found in Winwood, vol. ii. p. 429, 430, and is the same that was recommended by Henry, as we learn from Jeanin, tom. iii. p. 416, 417. It had long been imagined by historians, from Jeanin's authority, that James had declared to the court of Spain that he would not support the Dutch in their pretensions to liberty and independence. But it has since been discovered by Winwood's Memorials, vol. ii. p. 456, 466, 469, 475, 476, that that report was founded on a lie of President Richardot's.
