Ibid. [par. 61.] Clarendon.  The opinion of the prejudice and general aversion over the whole kingdom to the Scots, and the indignation they had at their presumption in their design of invading England, made it believed that a Parliament would express a very sharp sense of their insolence and carriage towards the King.—­Swift.  Cursed hellish Scots for ever!

P. 104. [par. 62.] Clarendon, on the calling together of the Parliament in 1640:—­The King ... directed the lord-keeper to issue out writs for the meeting of a Parliament upon the third day of April then next ensuing.—­Swift.  April 3d for knaves; the 1st for fools!

P. 114. [par, 90.] Clarendon.  The Scots army ... were always beaten.—­Swift.  “Always beaten” trebly underlined.

P. 116. [par. 97.] Clarendon The convocation-house (the regular and legal assembling of the clergy) customarily beginning and ending with Parliaments, was, after the determination of the last, by a new writ continued.—­Swift.  Convocations of the clergy are as legal and as necessary as those of the laity.

P. 122. [par 108.] Clarendon, on the commissioners who met at Ripon:—­When these commissioners from the King arrived at Ripon, there came others from the Scots army of a quality much inferior—­Swift.  A cursed committee!

Ibid. [par. 108.] Clarendon.  Alexander Henderson.—­Swift.  A cursed fanatic! (Written in pencil, and partially rubbed out.)

P. 123. [par. 109.] Clarendon.  There was not a man of all the English, etc.—­Swift.  Cursed hellish Scots!

P. 124. [par. 111.] Clarendon.  They brought them with them and presented them to the King [Swift underscores them.]

Ibid. [par. 113.] Clarendon.  Three of the commissioners, and no more, were of the King’s council, the Earls of Pembroke, Salisbury, and Holland.—­Swift.  Bad counsellors.

P. 125. [par. 116.] Clarendon The commissioners at Ripon quickly agreed upon the cessation; and were not unwilling to have allowed fifty thousand pounds a month for the support of the Scots army, when they did assign but thirty thousand pounds a month for the payment of the King’s.—­Swift.  Greedy Scotch rebellious dogs.

P. 129. [par. 126.] Clarendon.  It must not be doubted that there were many particular persons of honour of that nation who abhorred the outrages which were committed.—­Swift.  I doubt it; for they were Scots.

P. 130. [par. 128.] Clarendon.  It can hardly be conceived, with what entire confidence in each other, the numerous and not very rich nobility of Scotland ... concurred in the carrying on this rebellion.—­Swift.  Beggarly, beggarly!

BOOK III.

P. 148. [par. 32.] Clarendon.  Mr. Saint-John ... a natural son of the house of Bullingbrook.—­Swift.  A bastard.
