soon after, received the reward due to his treason.—Swift.
In what manner?

P. 469. [par. 53.] Clarendon. That which made
a noise indeed, and crowned his [Cromwell’s]

sake, instead of our worthless H——.
P. 495. [par. 119, sec. 3,] Clarendon, in the
address of the Anabaptists to the King:—“We
... humbly beseech your Majesty, that you would engage
your royal word never to erect, nor suffer to be erected,
any such tyrannical, Popish, and Antichristian hierarchy
(Episcopal, Presbyterian, or by what name soever it
be called) as shall assume a power over, or impose
a yoke upon, the consciences of others.”—Swift.
Honest, though fanatics.
P. 501. [par. 136.] Clarendon, at the siege
of Dunkirk:—Marshal Turenne, accompanied

P. 502. [par. 137.] Clarendon. There was
a rumour.., that the Duke of York was taken prisoner
by the English, ... whereupon many of the French officers,
and gentlemen, resolved to set him at liberty; ...
So great an affection that nation owned to have for
his Highness.—Swift. Yet he
lived and died a coward.

of the treachery of Sir Richard Willis.—Swift.
Doubtful.

P. 540. [par. 75.] Clarendon, upon the Duke
of York’s being invited into Spain, with the
office of El Admirante del Oceano, he was warned that

his religion.—Swift. As he did
openly in England.

all our subjects, how faulty soever, rely upon the
word of a King,” etc.—Swift.
Usually good for nothing.

free Parliament; by which, upon the word of a King,
we will be advised.”—Swift.
