Buffooneries of Enemies Spark Public Hatred for Minister
The writer laments the surge of public contempt for the minister, tracing much of the blame to courtly mockery in King Charles II's era. Historians note ridicule by royals and courtiers, with figures like Buckingham and Titus mocked in the king’s presence. The author warns a contemporary writer to curb his tirades lest he face real peril.
