Manuscript on paper, in a single secretary hand, of historical observations and political analysis of developments in Anglo-Dutch relations from the reign of Queen Mary Tudor into the reign of Charles I. Written from a pro-Catholic and pro-Spanish point of view, the work laments the spread of Protestantism and religious discord in both countries, takes a highly negative view of the revolt of William, Prince of Orange, and charges the Dutch with ingratitude toward the English, who find the Dutch competing with them in the fisheries and in trade despite all of their lavish support of Orange and his allies. The last section of the manuscript returns to the subject of Queen Elizabeth's long reign and vividly describes "the difference of tymes" between the beginning of her reign and its sorrowful end.

A covert Roman Catholic, Monson received a secret annuity from Spain; when this came to light in 1616, he was briefly imprisoned in the Tower and dismissed from office.
