ii. 18-19. In putting the best construction on the case Cecil did
not tell the King's ambassadors the whole truth about it. He said
that the sheriff had certified Goodwin an outlaw, without mentioning that
he had been instructed to do so, and made it appear that the Commons had
based their case largely on Goodwin's exemption by a general pardon, without
mentioning their main contention that Goodwin had never been outlawed in
the first place. Cecil also credited the settlement to the King's
wisdom, without mentioning that the King had little choice and without
mentioning the Common's willingness to accept less than they had established
a claim to.
