Excerpt from Lauderdale Papers, Vol. 2: 1667-1678 We find Sharp on May 21, 1661, having come to London a fortnight earlier, mentioning frequent conversations upon Church affairs held with Middleton before he left Scotland. But on March 21, writing to Drummond (vol. I. P. He says, I declare to you I have not acted directly or indirectly for a change amongst us, nor have I touched upon Church government in sermons or conferences at our court or elsewhere. It is, of course, open to those who would believe in Sharp's integrity to assume that all the conversations mentioned in the letter took place between March 21 and the beginning of May. On April 15 (vol. I. P. 93) he is indignant at the clan destin whispers, and with patience and hope commits himself, his credit, and his conscience, into the hands of his faithful Creator, who will bring his integrity to light. And yet within three weeks he is in active consultation with Clarendon, and rejoices that any former suspicions of his being well affected to Presbyterianism are now triumphantly removed.
