[326] Memorandum by Danby, undated, but probably in 1677. “State and present condition of the crown, which cannot be amended but by force or by compliance.
“[Compliance to the old parliament would mean war with France and the enforcement of all laws against papists and dissenters; with a new parliament, war with France and general toleration except for the papists.] From all this it seems as if compliance must necessarily conclude in a resolution to give satisfaction in point of France. [Force could hardly be exerted without foreign aid, which would certainly mean a total conquest.]” Add. MSS. 28042: 17.
