Ibid. [par. 61.] Clarendon. The
opinion of the prejudice and general aversion over
the whole kingdom to the Scots, and the indignation
they had at their presumption in their design of invading
England, made it believed that a Parliament would
express a very sharp sense of their insolence and
carriage towards the King.—Swift.
Cursed hellish Scots for ever!
P. 104. [par. 62.] Clarendon, on the calling
together of the Parliament in 1640:—The
King ... directed the lord-keeper to issue out writs
for the meeting of a Parliament upon the third day
of April then next ensuing.—Swift.
April 3d for knaves; the 1st for fools!
P. 114. [par, 90.] Clarendon. The Scots
army ... were always beaten.—Swift.
“Always beaten” trebly underlined.
P. 116. [par. 97.] Clarendon The convocation-house
(the regular and legal assembling of the clergy) customarily
beginning and ending with Parliaments, was, after
the determination of the last, by a new writ continued.—Swift.
Convocations of the clergy are as legal and as necessary
as those of the laity.
P. 122. [par 108.] Clarendon, on the commissioners
who met at Ripon:—When these commissioners
from the King arrived at Ripon, there came others
from the Scots army of a quality much inferior—Swift.
A cursed committee!
Ibid. [par. 108.] Clarendon. Alexander
Henderson.—Swift. A cursed
fanatic! (Written in pencil, and partially rubbed out.)
P. 123. [par. 109.] Clarendon. There was
not a man of all the English, etc.—Swift.
Cursed hellish Scots!
P. 124. [par. 111.] Clarendon. They brought
them with them and presented them to the King [Swift
underscores them.]
Ibid. [par. 113.] Clarendon. Three
of the commissioners, and no more, were of the King’s
council, the Earls of Pembroke, Salisbury, and Holland.—Swift.
Bad counsellors.
P. 125. [par. 116.] Clarendon The commissioners
at Ripon quickly agreed upon the cessation; and were
not unwilling to have allowed fifty thousand pounds
a month for the support of the Scots army, when they
did assign but thirty thousand pounds a month for
the payment of the King’s.—Swift.
Greedy Scotch rebellious dogs.
P. 129. [par. 126.] Clarendon. It must
not be doubted that there were many particular persons
of honour of that nation who abhorred the outrages
which were committed.—Swift.
I doubt it; for they were Scots.
P. 130. [par. 128.] Clarendon. It can
hardly be conceived, with what entire confidence in
each other, the numerous and not very rich
nobility of Scotland ... concurred in the carrying
on this rebellion.—Swift. Beggarly,
beggarly!
P. 148. [par. 32.] Clarendon. Mr. Saint-John
... a natural son of the house of Bullingbrook.—Swift.
A bastard.
