To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He returned from Spain in March 1617, and, after embroiling himself with his wife's family and chal- lenging her brother, quitted England again in a few months for Italy, leaving his affairs in great disorder, openly professing himself a catholic, and disregard- ing an order of council for his return. After his departure, his lady and her mother accounted for this abrupt and suspicious desertion of his country and connexions, by accusing him of having made an attempt to poison them, in conseque...nce of their de- tecting him in an intrigue with the countess of Ex- eter, the youthful spouse of his infirm and aged grandfather. No sooner did this tale of family scan- dal come to the ears of the king, than he summoned the three ladies privately to his presence ; when lady Lake and lady Roos produced to him a written confession, signed by the countess, in which she ac- knowledged her guilt in joining in an attempt to poison them, and implored their forgiveness: The countess, on the other hand, denied the genuineness of this paper and affirmed her innocence ; and she had the good fortune to gain over the monarch to her side.
