01 文献
Add MS 4107 保存的是 Peterborough 实际收到的指令，女王在开头和结尾都签了名。标题是明写的：Instructions for Our Right Trusty and Right Welbeloved Cousin and Councillor Charles Earl of Peterborow and Monmouth. Given at Our Court at St James’s the Two and Twentieth day of February 1711/2 in the Tenth Year of Our Reign.日期用的是旧历，所以年份是1712年，而 DECODE 的年份范围1711–1712指的就是这一封信。
书记把正文用明文写出，把要紧的词换成数字，用点隔开：We taking into Our Serious Consideration the great 2011.381. that are 966.298.534.76.1387.650.1108.389. Our good 435.823.755. the 1584.705.94.2211. of 2089.总共有61段，每段1到18个码组，合计414个码组，其中242个各不相同，范围从76到2269。书记把 8 写成带圈的 ơ。f. 184v 装订缝处有两个码组丢了最后一位数字。除了下面的截图，这里不转载 British Library 的图像。登录 DECODE 后可以查看。
02 刊印文本与匹配
Parke 于1798年根据国务大臣官署的抄本刊印了 Bolingbroke 的文件。在 St John 致女王的一封信的注释中，他加了一句“Lord Peterborough’s instructions was as follow”，后面是全文，标题相同，日期相同，结尾同样是 A. R.手稿中的明写段落与印本逐字一致，而每段代码所在的位置，印本上都有一个短语：
| 代码段 | 代码 | 刊印文本 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2011.381 | endeavours |
| 4–5 | 1584.705.94.2211 · 2089 | Electoral Prince · Saxony |
| 9 | 724.1604.678.1219.563.393.1893 | dishonour the Protestant interest |
| 17 | 839.534.678.523.412.303.1076.833.179 | you to the said Prince whom |
| 18 | 609.1415.705.564.1369 | his arrival at Rome |
| 43 | 385.97.894.1098 | himself |
| 44 | 422.474.373.900.609.507.1373 | abjuring his religion |
| 50–51 | 1799.900.894 · 465.355.385.466.615.755 | rescuing him · hands he is in |
| 55 | 886.354.839.1053.534.523.308.678.1285.500.1369.738 | given you leave to see the city of Rome |
| 60 | 720.425.295.335.534.2101 | come back to Turin |
全部61段的对齐见 alignment.tsv。重复出现的码组证实了这一点：无论出现在哪里，它们的含义都相同。534 在全部八处都是 to，而 678 the、839 you、894 him、466 he、609 his、981 your、1068 our、783 on 和 820 this 各自在三到七处保持不变。1373 在全部三处都是 religion，1219.563 两次都是 Protestant。同一个音节 422 既是 abandon 的开头，也是 abjuring 的开头。在找到印本之前，其中四个值（894 him、466 he、894.1098 himself、981 your）已经根据周围的明写词猜了出来。
这套代码在文本中大量填充虚码。232个印刷词对应414个码组，一个词可以占四五个码组：his 有一次写作 328.333.388.467，him 写作 326.332.349.467.2269。有些词不止一个码组（Prince 是 1076 或 2211；Rome 是 1369 或 519.488）。数字不按字母顺序排列（466 he、609 his、894 him、981 your），所以它不是 SP 106/7 中保存的那些印制好的一部本代码之一。有两个单独的码组在印本中没有对应的词：church of Rome and 之后的 91，以及 affairs 261 bring him 中的 261。它们要么是虚码，要么是底稿与誊清本之间的细微差异。
03 指令内容
下面的文本依据 Parke 的印本，拼写已现代化。粗体的词在手稿中是用代码写的。
We taking into our serious consideration the great endeavours that are used to pervert our good cousin, the Electoral Prince of Saxony, to the superstitious worship of the church of Rome, and the infinite prejudice and dishonour the Protestant interest would suffer if so considerable a Prince, in whose country the reformation first began, should abandon the principles of our most holy religion, think it a duty incumbent on us to prevent, as far as in us lies, so fatal a blow. For that end, we have taken the resolution of sending you to the said Prince, whom you are to join, if possible, before his arrival at Rome, yet in such a manner that your falling-in with him may appear merely accidental: but whether you meet him on the road, or find him at Rome, you shall take a proper opportunity to deliver our letter to him, accompanying it with expressions of our friendship and real concern for his prosperity. You shall endeavour to insinuate yourself into his good opinion, and, as occasion offers, urge the strongest arguments you can for keeping him steady to the Protestant religion. If you find your representations make any impression upon his mind, you shall then open to him the subject of your commission, and declare that we have dispatched you to him on purpose to let him know that we have still the same earnest desire of seeing him which we have so often expressed; and that if he persists in those good resolutions he formerly had, to adhere firmly to the religion in which he was educated, he may depend upon a friendly and honourable reception in our Court, in case his inclination or the situation of his affairs bring him this way. If, upon discourse with him, you shall discover that he apprehends himself under a necessity of abjuring his religion, to avoid the dangers and difficulties he will otherwise be exposed to, and that he has an inclination to make his escape, you may concert with him the proper measures for rescuing him out of the hands he is in, and bringing him safe to our dominions, or those of any other Protestant Prince or State.
If you should happen to be arrived at Turin when these our instructions are delivered to you, you shall acquaint the Duke of Savoy that, in compliance with your request, we have given you leave to see the city of Rome; for you are by all means to prevent any suspicion of the true intent of your going thither.
The nature of this service in which we now employ you is such, that we can neither enjoin you to correspond with either of our Secretaries of State, nor limit the time of your return; we therefore leave it entirely to your discretion and prudence to come back to Turin when you shall judge your attendance on the Prince of no further use.
这位世子是 Frederick Augustus，强力王奥古斯特之子，后来的波兰国王奥古斯特三世。Parke 的注释解释说，由于预期要迎娶一位天主教的女大公，世子“was about to set off for Rome, to abjure the Protestant religion”。书记把凡是点出世子、宗教、使命及其掩护说法的内容都写成了代码。客套话和有关行事的指示则保留明写。
04 仍不确定的部分
- 代码表。只确定了约二十个值。DECODE 上没有一份密钥能对上：SP 106 第6–8盒的全部密钥，以及每一份转录过的、年代在1690–1730年的英国、TNA 或 Bodleian 密钥，都用 894 him、466 he、1098 self 和 981 your 检验过。BL Add MS 61575 ff. 62–65 中的名单属于马尔伯勒，不是这套代码。
- 码组 91 和 261，它们在印本中没有对应；以及装订缝处两个码组的末位数字（52?、33?）。
- 不能排除在代码段内部，Parke 所据的官署底稿与签署的原件之间存在措辞上的细微差异。各段的长度没有显示出任何差异。
