P. 89. [par. 179.] Clarendon. The vile
artifices of the Scottish commissioners to draw the
King into their hands.—Swift.
Vile, treacherous Scots for ever.
P. 97. [par. 13.] Clarendon, on the discourses
against the English in the Scottish Parliament:—This
discourse ... was entertained by the rest with so
general a reception, that Argyle found it would be
to no purpose directly to contradict or oppose it.—Swift.
An infamous dog, like all his family.
P. 108. [par. 35.] Clarendon. The Prince
[Charles II.] set sail first for Yarmouth road, then
for the Downs, having sent his brother, the Duke of
York, with all his family, to The Hague.—Swift.
A sorry admiral.
P. 109 [ditto] Clarendon. The Prince determining
to engage his own person, he [the Duke] submitted
to the determination—Swift.
Popery and cowardice stuck with him all his life.
Ibid. [par. 36] Clarendon. The
Prince came prepared to depend wholly upon the Presbyterian
party, which, besides the power of the Scots army,
which was every day expected to invade England, was
thought to be possessed of all the strength of the
City of London.—Swift. Curse
on the rogues!
Ibid. [same par.] Clarendon. Sent
from the Scots[7]—Swift. So

in edition of 1888. [T. S.]]
P. 112 [par. 43] Clarendon. Argyle took

That Scotch dog.

take the Covenant.—Swift. Their
damned Covenant.
P. 117 [par. 53] Clarendon. Sir Philip
Musgrave, that it might appear that they did not exclude
any who had taken the Covenant, etc.—Swift.
Confound their damnable Covenant!
P. 129 [par. 85] Clarendon. Defeat of
the Scots army—Swift. I cannot
be sorry.
Ibid. [pars. 86, 87] Clarendon, after
the defeat of the Scottish army, the Earl of Lauderdale
had been sent to The Hague The Prince of Wales—thought
fit, that the earl should give an account of his commission
at the board, ... and, that all respect might be shewed
to the Parliament of Scotland, he had a chair allowed
him to sit upon—Swift. Respect
to a Scotch Parliament, with a pox.
P. 130 [par. 87] Clarendon. Redeem His
Majesty’s person from that captivity, which
they held themselves obliged ... to endeavour to do—Swift.
Not to do.
P. 133 [par. 96] Clarendon. Within a short
time after, orders were sent out of Scotland for the
delivery of Berwick and Carlisle to the Parliament—Swift.
Cursed Scots.
