William III. during his whole reign. Being of an enter- 
prizing difpofftion, and the times very turbulent, he was 
lent by his father to finilh his (Indies at Utrecht, where 
his thorough knowledge of the affairs of his country intro¬ 
duced him to the prince of Orange; with whom he fo far in¬ 
gratiated hjmfelf, that nothing ofconfequence, relating to 
Great-Britain, was traniadfed at the Dutch court, with 
v. hich he was not entrufted. Bifiiop Burnet fays, that, when 
lie returned to England, he had all the prince of Orange’s 
lecrets in his bread. He had a (hare in what was called 
the Rye-houfe plot, fo far as it related to the obtaining a 
free parliament, a redrefs of public grievances, and the 
exclulion of tha.duke, of York; and, on the difeovery of
