d was reluctant to hang any but republicans. His love of placid enjoyments and of ease continued to the end. On the last morning of his life, he bade his attendants open the curtains of his bed, and the windows of his bed-chamber, that he might once more see the sun. Barillon, in Dalrymple, App. to p. i. b. i. Compare James' II. Memoirs, i. 746; Evelyn, III. 130, 131. He desired absolution; For God's sake, send for a Catholic priest; but checked himself, adding, it may expose the duke of York to danger. James' II. Memoirs, i. 747. He pardoned all his enemies, no doubt sincerely. The queen sent to beg forgiveness for any offences. Alas, poor woman, she beg my pardon! he replied; I beg hers with all my heart; take back to her that answer. Dalrymple, book i. p. 66. He expressed some regard for his brother, his children, his mistresses. Do not leave poor Nelly Gwyn to starve, was almost his last commission. Burnet, II. 284. So, too, Evelyn, III. 132.

Long Island went to the duke of York. Satisfied with the harmony which they had secured by Chap. XII.} 1664. attempting nothing but for the interests of the colony, the commissioners saw fit to praise to the monarch the dutifulness and obedience of Connecticut, which was set off with the more lustre by the contrary deportment of Massachusetts.

Himself without any veneration for prejudice or prescriptive usage, he never could estimate the difficulty of abrogating a form or overcoming a prejudice. His mind regarded purposes and results; and he did not so much defy appearances as rest ignorant of their power; an indifference, which, in some respects, was an immorality. Desiring to exclude the duke of York from the throne, no delicacy of sentiment restrained him from proposing the succession to the uncertain issue of an abandoned woman, who had once been mistress to the king; and he saw no cruelty in urging Charles II. to a divorce from a confiding wife, who had no blemish but barrenness.
