'Brother, what I feared is proved too true, which is your being against the King; give me leave to tell you in my opinion 'tis most unhandsomely done, and it grieves my heart to think that my father already and I, who so dearly love and esteem you, should be bound to be your enemy. I hear' tis a great grief to my father'.
Edmund to his elder brother, Ralph Verney MP.
