P. 454. [par. 235.] Clarendon, the same:  Ireland.  The Chancellor of the Exchequer:—­put them in mind, ... [that] one hundred thousand pounds, brought in by the adventurers for Ireland, had been sent in one entire sum into Scotland, to prepare and dispose that kingdom to send an army to invade this.—­Swift Cursed.

P. 456. [On this page two ands are erased.]

P. 457. [par. 241.] Clarendon.  The conversation ... made a great discovery of the faction that was in the Parliament ... that the Scots would insist upon the whole government of the Church, and in all other matters would defer to the King.—­Swift. [Instead of upon,] to destroy; [and instead of defer,] to betray.

Ibid. [par. 242.] Clarendon.  Satisfied, that in the particular which concerned the Church, the Scots would never depart from a tittle.—­Swift.  Scots hell-hounds.

P. 466. [par. 262.] Clarendon.  After the battle at York, ... the Scotch army marched northwards, to reduce the little garrisons remaining in those parts; which was easily done.—­Swift.  Scottish dogs.

Ibid. [par. 263.] Clarendon.  The person whom that earl [of Montrose] most hated, and contemned, was the Marquess of Argyle.—­Swift.  A most damnable false dog, and so are still their family.

P. 478. [par. 284.] Clarendon.  The Parliament had, some months before, made an ordinance against giving quarter to any of the Irish nation which should be taken prisoners. ...  The Earl of Warwick, and the officers under him at sea, had as often as he met with any Irish frigates, ... taken all the seamen who became prisoners to them of that nation, and bound them back to back, and thrown them overboard into the sea.—­Swift.  Barbarous villains, and rebels.

BOOK IX.

P. 484. [par. 2.] Clarendon.  Persons, whose memories ought to be charged with their own evil actions, rather than that the infamy of them should be laid on the age wherein they lived; which did produce as many men, eminent for their loyalty and incorrupted fidelity to the crown, as any that had preceded it.—­Swift.  Not quite.

P. 485. [par. 4.] Clarendon.  The Marquess of Argyle was now come from Scotland.—­Swift.  A cursed Scotch hell-hound.

P. 501. [par. 29.] Clarendon.  Prince Rupert ... disposed the King to resolve to march northwards, and to fall upon the Scotch army in Yorkshire, before Fairfax should be able to perfect his new model to that degree, as to take the field.—­Swift. Cursed Scots still.

P. 516. [par. 55.] Clarendon, on Sir Richard Greenvil hanging an attorney named Brabant, as a spy, out of private revenge.—­Swift. This rogue would almost be a perfect Scot.

P. 521. [par. 63.] Clarendon. (The which had been already so scandalous, ... contribution.) [61/2 lines between parentheses.] —­Swift. Long parenthesis.
