Bamber Gascoyne, I see is advanc'd to be one of the Lords of the
Admiralty, who wod have thought it? requisites he can have
none but strong natural Parts, & natural Confidence, such
as a first Lord, may find useful to him, upon occasion. I cod
not stoop to apply to him, on the Strength of my long knowledge
& acquaintance with him to ask for a place for you in
the King's yard, — I had much rather you wod be one
Day, some thing for yourself, independently, unless it were
a Commissioner of ye Navy, wch. your Personal Knowledge
& the Interest you have made, may possibly procure you
in case you make a proper use of your Excursive Scheme.
in that case you may have more pretensions in that case
than many that are appointed to such Kkind of Offices —
but all those things are as they happen, & are determin'd
by a number or some few lucky Circumstances that occur
in the Course of human Events.
