FN 39 Sidney to William, Feb. 27. 1690,.  The letter is in Dalrymple’s Appendix, Part ii. book vi.  Narcissus Luttrell in his Diary for September 1691, mentions Penn’s escape from Shoreham to France.  On the 5th of December 1693 Narcissus made the following entry:  “William Penn the Quaker, having for some time absconded, and having compromised the matters against him, appears now in public, and, on Friday last, held forth at the Bull and Month, in Saint Martin’s.”  On December 18/28. 1693 was drawn up at Saint Germains, under Melfort’s direction, a paper containing a passage of which the following is a translation

“Mr. Penn says that Your Majesty has had several occasions, but never any so favourable, as the present; and he hopes that Your Majesty will be earnest with the most Christian King not to neglect it:  that a descent with thirty thousand men will not only reestablish Your Majesty, but according to all appearance break the league.”  This paper is among the Nairne MSS., and was translated by Macpherson.
