Kirk.
P. 139. [par. 348.] Clarendon, the same:—“We
do believe that the petitioners, when they shall consider
how ... unbecoming [it is] in itself, for them to
require, the ancient, happy, and established government
of the Church of England to be altered, and conformed
to the laws, and constitutions of another church,
will find themselves misled,” etc.—Swift.
A Scotch kirk.
P. 140. [par. 351.] Clarendon, the same:—“To
which [synod] we shall be willing that some learned
divines of our Church of Scotland may be likewise
sent.”—Swift. To confound
all.
P. 142. [par. 356.] Clarendon, the same:—“We
conceived, we had not left it possible, for any man
to ... suspect, that the conversion of our dearest
consort was not so much our desire, that the accession
of as many crowns as God hath already bestowed on
us, would not be more welcome to us than that day.”—Swift.
A thorough Papist.
P. 199. [par. 71.] Clarendon. Being this
way secure from any future clamours for peace, they
proceeded to try Mr. Tomkins, Mr. Chaloner, ...
Mr. Hambden, who brought the last message from the
King, etc.—Swift. Which Hambden?

Hambden.

divers were men of good conduct, and courage; though
there were more as bad as the cause, in which they
engaged. Of the former sort Colonel Hurry was
a man of name, and reputation.—Swift.
A miracle! Colonel Urrie was an honest, valiant,
loyal Scot, repenting his mistakes.
P. 203. [par. 78.] Clarendon. The man
[Hurry] was in his nature proud, and imperious.—Swift.
A mixture of the Scot.

Cursed rogues.
P. 261. [par. 199.] Clarendon. Sir Anthony
Ashley Cooper, a young gentleman ... of a fair and
plentiful fortune.—Swift. Earl of
Shaftesbury by Charles II. A great villain.
P. 262. [par. 199.] Clarendon. The flexibility
and instability of that gentleman’s nature,
not being then understood, or suspected.—Swift.
Shaftesbury, an early rogue.
Ibid. [par. 200.] Clarendon. The
express returned without effect [from the King], and
the Marquess [of Hertford] was as sensibly touched
as could be imagined; and said, “that he was
fallen from all credit with the King,” etc.—Swift.
Too fond of those nephews.
