Extract

When by a general and constant report I heard that his Ma˜ty was much offended with me about my speeches and behaviour in parliament, and myself finding the report too true by many particular speeches and actions of the king tending to make his displeasure the more sensible to me, I thought it my duty to use all lawfull means whereby to make my grief known, and my desire seen, which I long had to clear myself, and remove the cloud that had so long obscured his Ma˜ty's favour from me.

page 27 note [a] N. B. Soon after this reconciliation, viz. in 1613, Mr. Yelverton was made Solicitor General and knighted; and on the 17th March 1616, he was constituted Attorney General. In 1625 he was made one of the Justices of the King's Bench, and afterwards of the Common Pleas, and had not the Duke of Buckingham been suddenly cut off, he would, in all probability, have been made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. He died in 1629, and was buried at Easton Maudit.—See Wood's Athenæ. I. 543.
