Typescript copy of a petition to the exiled King James II, that he send the petitioner a Royal Certificate of his being a gentleman pursuant. Lincoln writes that he has, for several years, been well settled in London, working as a merchant. However, due to inaction, he will quit the city and transfer to Spain, where he intends to remain for the rest of his life. A certificate would be advantageous for him, since it would allow Lincoln to be formally recognised as a member of a good and noble family. He asks that his Majesty consider the petitioner on account of his known loyalty to him.

Will be glad to meet, though will be gone in a fortnight once he gets paid. Is not pleased with the Embassy, though is pleased with the trust he has been shown. Belives that 'the business of Spain' will be his 'great negociation' (sic) but would much rather stand aside and watch other people conduct the business. Notes the French ambassador is due to visit Windsor, the supposed illness of the Prince of Vaudemont and the 'dowager Queen', and also notes that the King has recovered from his illness and has been entertained by music and dancing.

Discusses the beliefs of a group of men, of which he is one, who meet for religious purposes. Stresses they are not against the Church of England but support it.
