P. 574. [par. 164] Clarendon.  The King ... resolved once more to try another way, ... [whereby] he should discover, whether he had so many friends in the Parliament, and the city, as many men would persuade him to conclude; and whether the Scots had ever a thought of doing him service.—­Swift. No more than Beelzebub.

P. 579. [par. 175.] Clarendon.  Monsieur Montrevil [was sent] into England:  ... who likewise persuaded his Majesty, to believe ... that the cardinal was well assured, that the Scots would behave themselves henceforwards very honestly.—­Swift. Damnable Scots.

P. 580. [par. 176.] Clarendon.  The Scots were resolved to have no more to do with his Majesty.—­Swift.  Gave up the King.

VOLUME III.

On the bastard title:  That frequent expression,—­upon the word of a king, I have always despised and detested, for a thousand reasons.

Dedication, 21st par. [vol.  I., p. li., edit of 1888.] Clarendon. Some very near that King ... putting him on the thoughts of marrying some Roman Catholic lady.—­Swift.  As he did.

BOOK X.

P. 2. [par. 2.] Clarendon.  Sir Dudley Wyat had been sent expressly from the Lord Jermin, to assure the prince, that such a body of five thousand foot were actually raised under the command of Ruvignie, and should be embarked for Pendennis within less than a month.—­Swift.  Father to Lord Galloway; a Huguenot.

P. 6. [par. 11.] Clarendon, Upon the Queen’s hearing that the King had gone to the Scots army, she:—­renewed her command for the prince’s immediate repair into France; whereas the chief reason before was, that he would put himself into the Scots’ hands.—­_ Swift_.  He could not do worse.

P. 7 [par. 12] Clarendon The King ... was by this time known to be in the Scots army—­Swift.  And these hell hounds sold him to the rebels.

P. 11 [par. 21] Clarendon [The Scots] had pressed the King to do many things, which he had absolutely refused to do, and that thereupon they had put very strict guards upon his Majesty, ... so that his Majesty looked upon himself as a prisoner—­Swift.  The cursed Scots begin their new treachery.

P. 14 [par. 27] Clarendon, on “the paper Montrevil sent to the King, being a promise for the Scots receiving the King, Apr 1”—­Swift.  Montrevil might as safely promise for Satan as for the Scots.

Ibid. [par. 28] Clarendon on Montrevil’s advertising the King of the change in the Scotch—­Swift.  Will Montrevil trust them again?

P. 15 [ditto] Clarendon [The Sots] with much ado agreed, that the two princes [Rupert and Maurice] ... might follow the King, with such other of his servants as were not excepted from pardon—­Swift.  And why those?  Because the Scots were part of the rebels.
