Excerpt from Bishop Burnet's History of His Own Time, Vol. 2

The money was exhausted: so it was necessary to have a session of parliament. And one was called in the beginning of the year. At the opening it, the king excused the issuing out the writs, as done to save time, and to have a full house at the first open ing: but he left that matter wholly to them: he spoke of the declaration for liberty of conscience in another style: he said he had seen the good effects of it; and that he would stick to it, and maintain it: he said, he was engaged in a war for the honour of the nation, and therefore he demanded the sup plies that were necessary to carry it on. On these heads lord Shaftsbury enlarged. But no part of his speech was more amazing than that, speaking of the war with the Dutch; he said, Delenda est Car thage. Yet, while he made a base complying speech in favour of the court and of the war, he was in a secret management with another party.
