The result was an eclectic set of often radical principles that few other Englishmen of his time could have completely shared, yet principles forwarded at the service of a desire to restore the harmonious bonds of Court and Country lodged deep in the English past.	cache/6395w66648v.txt	txt/6395w66648v.txt
