The Spanish ambassador in London probably with the help of the fallen favourite, the Earl of Somerset being unable to obtain speech with his Sowship, slipped a paper into his hand, declaring that he was a prisoner in his own house, and was entirely governed by Buckingham and his creatures.
These disputes with his Parliaments, and his hunting, and his drinking, and his lying in bed for he was a great sluggard occupied his Sowship pretty well. The rest of his time he chiefly passed in hugging and slobbering his favourites.
This plot got rid of, and Sir Walter Raleigh safely shut up in the Tower, his Sowship held a great dispute with the Puritans on their presenting a petition to him, and had it all his own way not so very wonderful, as he would talk continually, and would not hear anybody else and filled the Bishops with admiration.
He soon danced himself into the good graces of his Sowship, and danced the other favourite out of favour. Then, it was all at once discovered that the Earl and Countess of Somerset had not deserved all those great promotions and mighty rejoicings, and they were separately tried for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, and for other crimes.
Prince Charles or as his Sowship called him, Baby Charles being now PRINCE OF WALES, the old project of a marriage with the Spanish King's daughter had been revived for him; and as she could not marry a Protestant without leave from the Pope, his Sowship himself secretly and meanly wrote to his Infallibility, asking for it.
For this young prince Sir Walter Raleigh wrote, in his prison in the Tower, the beginning of a History of the World: a wonderful instance how little his Sowship could do to confine a great man's mind, however long he might imprison his body.
