P. 286. [par. 3.] Clarendon.  The King was received by the Marquess of Argyle with all the outward respect imaginable.—­Swift.  That dog of all Scotch dogs.

Ibid, [ditto.] Clarendon.  They did immediately banish him [Daniel O’Neill] the kingdom, and obliged him to sign a paper, by which he consented to be put to death, if he were ever after found in the kingdom.—­Swift.  In Scotland, with a pox.

P. 287. [par. 5.] Clarendon.  The King’s table was well served. —­Swift.  With Scotch food, etc. etc. etc.

P. 300. [par 36.] Clarendon.  The King had left ... the Duke of York with the Queen, with direction “that he should conform himself entirely to the will and pleasure of the Queen his mother, matters of religion only excepted.”—­Swift.  Yet lost his kingdom for the sake of Popery.

P. 304. [par. 42.] Clarendon, on the proposed match between the Duke of York, and the Duke of Lorraine’s natural daughter:—­Only Sir George Ratcliffe undertook to speak to him about it, who could only make himself understood in Latin, which the Duke cared not to speak in.—­Swift.  Because he was illiterate, and only read Popish Latin.

P. 305. [par. 44.] Clarendon. [The Queen] bid him [the chancellor of the exchequer] “assure the Duke of York, that he should have a free exercise of his religion, as he had before.”—­Swift.  Who unkinged himself for Popery.

P. 306. [par. 45.] Clarendon.  It was indeed the common discourse there [in Holland], “that the Protestants of the Church of England could never do the King service, but that all his hopes must be in the Roman Catholics, and the Presbyterians.”—­Swift.  A blessed pair.

P. 318. [par. 75.] Clarendon, the King’s defeat at Worcester, 3d of September.—­Swift.  September 3d, always lucky to Cromwell.

P. 339. [par. 122.] Clarendon.  There was no need of spurs to be employed to incite the Duke [of York]; who was most impatient to be in the army.—­Swift How old was he when he turned a Papist, and a coward?

P. 340. [par. 123.] Clarendon.  The Duke pressed it [his being allowed to join the army] with earnestness and passion, in which he dissembled not.—­Swift.  Dubitat Augustinus.
