Here is the statement, which, if it have no other value, serves to show the hideous designs of which the enemies of Philip sincerely believed that monarch capable.

It is not surprising that a book written in this style caused the author to be suspected of wildness and even of madness. But there was, as Bowen remarks, a method and a good deal of logical power in his madness. The pamphlet was reprinted, circulated, and read in Great Britain and even attracted the attention of the House of Lords.
The general heard me defending you against the various reports which my venomous cousin had circulated, and he only admired what he called 'my amiable zeal. His love for me increased, but it gave me no pleasure: for, Helen, now I am going to tell you an extraordinary turn which my mind took, for which I cannot account I can hardly believe it it seems out of human nature my love for him decreased! not only because I felt that he would hate me if he discovered my deceit, but because he was lowered in my estimation!
