Quarrel between the

farer and

order'd to be profecuted : Nay, many hop'd that their Lordships would have carry'd the Refentment of his and the Lord Bolingbroke's collufory and corrupt Conduct, in relation to the Treaty of Commerce with Spain, fo far, as to fend them both to the Tower.

The Animofity between the Lord-Treasurer and the Lord Bolingbroke, broke out into a Flame, as foon as Lord-Trea- the Parliament was up; fo that her Majefty (who had Bolingbroke. for fome time been in a declining State of Health) was continually difturb'd and teaz'd by their Quarrels. Bolingbroke, not able to bear being crofs'd in his Meafures, labour'd fo hard in fupplanting the other, that he at lalt prevail'd: And on July 27. the white Staff was taken from the Earl of Oxford. This Removal occafion'd Removal of great Confufion and Contention at Court, which gave the former. the fickly Queen fuch Trouble and Vexation, that she declar'd to her nearest Attendants, She bould not out-live the Indifpofition it had brought upon her.

On Thursday, July 29. her Majesty complain'd very Queen's Ill- much of acute Pains in her Head. The next Day fhe was pls. feiz'd with Convulfion Fits, and for fome time loft the Ufe of her Speech and Senfes; which occafion'd a current Report that she was already dead. But being come to her felf, the Dukes of Somerfet and Argyle, who thought it proper to enter the Council-Chamber upon this extraordinary Occafion, altho' not fummon'd for fome time paft, propofed the Duke of Shrewsbury for Lord High-Treafurer; which the rest agreed to, and Duke of her Majefty gave him the Staff accordingly. Her Ma Shrecasbury jefty continuing in a very weak and languishing Condition, the Lords of the Privy-Council, animated by the coming in of those two Lords and others, iffu'd out feveral Orders for the Prefervation of the publick Tranquility, and putting the Kingdom into a State of De fence: And on the 31ft, her Recovery being defpair'd of, Mr. Craggs was fent Exprefs to Hanover, with a Letter giving an Account of the ill State of her Majesty's Health.
