P. 271. [par. 221.] Clarendon. [Lord Falkland] writ two large discourses against the principal positions of that [the Roman Catholic] religion, with that sharpness of style, and full weight of reason, that the Church is deprived of great jewels in the concealment of them, and that they are not published to the world.—­Swift.  Ten thousand pities that they are not to be recovered!

P. 277. [par. 234.] Clarendon.  Thus fell that incomparable young man, [Lord Falkland,] in the four-and-thirtieth year of his age, having so much dispatched the true business of life, that the eldest rarely attain to that immense knowledge, and the youngest enter not into the world with more innocency:  Whosoever leads such a life needs be the less anxious upon how short warning it is taken from him.—­Swift.  It moves grief to the highest excess.

P. 277. [par. 236.] Clarendon, on the jealousy between Essex and Waller:—­The passion and animosity which difference of opinion had produced between any members, was totally laid aside and forgotten, and no artifice omitted to make the world believe, that they were a people newly incorporated, and as firmly united to one and the same end, as their brethren the Scots.—­Swift.  Deceitful Scots.

P. 282. [par. 246.] Clarendon.  Earl of Holland.—­Swift. Treacherous.

P. 283 [par. 247.] Clarendon, the Earl of Holland, on his return from Oxford, published a Declaration, in which he announced:—­that he found the court so indisposed to peace ... that he resolved to make what haste he could back to the Parliament, and to spend the remainder of his life in their service:  which action, so contrary to his own natural discretion and generosity, etc.—­Swift.  Treachery.

Ibid. [par. 249.] Clarendon.  The committee from the two Houses of Parliament, which was sent into Scotland in July before ... found that kingdom in so good and ready a posture for their reception, that they had called an assembly of their kirk; and a convention of their estates, without, and expressly against, the King’s consent.—­Swift.  Diabolical Scots for ever.

P. 284. [par. 250.] Clarendon, the Scotch said to the English commissioners.—­that there were many well-wishers to him [the King], and maligners, in their hearts, of the present reformation.—­Swift.  Cursed Scots.

Ibid. [par. 252.] Clarendon.  A form of words was quickly agreed on between them, for a perfect combination and marriage between the Parliament and the Scots.—­Swift.  Satan was parson.

P. 285. [par. 254.] Clarendon.  The Assembly, besides ... execute execute his commands. [19 lines in one sentence.]—­Swift.  A long confounding period.

P. 288. [par. 259, sec. 3.] Clarendon.  A Solemn League and Covenant.  “To preserve ... liberties of the Kingdoms.”—­Swift.  Damnable rebel Scots.
