Notes

General note

"Containing an instructive account of his rise and fall; his excessive power and wealth; his cruel oppressions; the exorbitant grants made to him; his ambitious aim at the Crown; his lusts, hypocrisie, and irreligion; also his secret combination with the Papists and Fanaticks, to undermine the Church of England, and exclude the Royal Family."
