THE SECOND LETTER OF Mr. Coleman's To the French Kings Confessor, MONSIEUR L' CHAISE.
I Sent your Reverence a tedious Letter on our 29th. of September, to inform you of the progress of our Affaires for these two or three last years. I have now again the op∣portunity of a very sure hand to conveigh this by, I have sent you a Cypher, because our Parliament now drawing on, I may possibly have occasion to send, you something which You may be vvilling enough to knovv, and may be necessary for us that you should, when I may want the conveniency of a Mes∣senger. When any thing occurs of more concern than other, which may not be fit to be trusted to a Cypher alone, I will, to make such a thing more secure, write in Lemon, between the Lines of a Letter which shall have nothing in it visible, but what I care not who sees, but dried by a warm fire shall discover what is written, so that if the Letter comes to your hands, and upon drying it any thing appears more than did before, you may be sure no body has seen it by the way.
