Ibid. [par. 165.] Clarendon.  Wise men knew that that which looked like pride in some, would, etc. [Swift places a condemnatory pencil mark beneath “that.”]

P. 75. [par. 201.] Clarendon.  A book so full of good learning,[3] [i e., Bp.  John Williams (of Lincoln) against Innovations in Religion].—­Swift.  Is that book to be bought or borrowed?

[Footnote 3:  Again referred to on p. 271. See Scott’s note in loco (p. 297). [T.S.]]

BOOK II.

P. 88. [par. 18.] Clarendon.  There was so little curiosity either in the court, or the country, to know anything of Scotland, or what was done there, that when the whole nation was solicitous to know what passed weekly in Germany, and Poland, and all other parts of Europe, no man ever enquired what was doing in Scotland, nor had that kingdom a place or mention in one page of any gazette.—­Swift.  Should Bridewell news be in any gazette?

P.88. [par 18.] Clarendon.  The people [the Scotch] after they had once begun, pursued the business vigorously, and with all imaginable contempt of the government.—­Swift.  Scottish scoundrels!

P. 94. [par. 38.] Clarendon in the address of the Scots to the King:—­Lamenting “their ill fortune that their enemies had so great credit with the King, as to persuade him to believe that they were or could be disobedient to him, a thing that could never enter into their loyal hearts.”—­Swift.  Scotch dogs!

Ibid. [par. 39.] Clarendon.  Into Scotland ... as far as a place called Dunce.—­Swift.  “Dunce” underlined.

P. 95. [par. 42.] Clarendon.  The Covenanters ... were very reasonably exalted with this success, [the retreat of the Earl of Holland from Dunse,] and scattered their letters abroad amongst the noblemen at court, according to the humours of the men to whom they writ.—­Swift.  Cursed Scots for ever!

P. 96. [par. 46.] Clarendon, speaking of the Marquess of Hamilton.—­Swift.  A cursed true Scot!

P. 100. [par. 55] Clarendon The Scots got so much benefit and advantage by it [the treaty of pacification], that they brought all their other mischievous devices to pass, with ease.—­Swift.  Confounded Scots!

P. 101. [par. 58.] Marginal note to Clarendon:  The Earl of Argyle joins with the Covenanters, notwithstanding his great obligations to the King.—­Swift.  All Argyles, cursed Scottish hell-hounds for ever!

P. 103. [par. 60.] Clarendon, on the letter from the Scotch nobility to the French King, which was intercepted, and upon Lord Lowden, in his examination:—­refusing to give any other answer, than that it was writ before the agreement ... and never sent; that if he had committed any offence, he ought to be questioned for it in Scotland, and not in England.—­Swift.  Scottish traitors!
