P. 384. [par. 56.] Clarendon, in the King’s answer to the petition to remove the magazine from Hull:—­We have ... most solemnly promised, in the word of a king, etc.—­Swift.  How long is that phrase to last?

P. 415. [par. 136] Clarendon.  Whoever concurred, voted, and sided with them, in their extravagant conclusions, let the infamy of his former life, or present practice be what it would; his injustice and oppression never so scandalous, and notorious; he was received, countenanced, and protected with marvellous demonstrations of affection.—­Swift.  King George’s reign.

P. 419. [par. 148.] Clarendon, in the King’s answer to the petition to dissolve his Guards:—­He asked them, “when they had so many months together not contented themselves to rely for security, as their predecessors had done, upon the affection of the people, but by their own single authority had raised to themselves a guard ... and yet all those pikes and protestations, that army, on one side, and that navy, on the other, had not persuaded His Majesty to command them to disband their forces,” etc.—­Swift.  What are those pikes?

P. 427. [par. 162.] Clarendon, in the Declaration of the Lords and Commons, May 19, 1642—­That, in the word of a King, etc.—­Swift. A frequent foolish word, battered as a phrase.

P. 472. [par. 269.] Clarendon.  He divested himself of the power of dissolving this Parliament.—­Swift.  Proved his ruin.

P. 543. [par. 425.] Clarendon, on the deposition of Sir Richard Gurney, lord mayor.—­Swift Dogs!

VOL.  II.—­BOOK VI.

P. 7. [par. 11.] Clarendon, Message of the King, Aug. 25th, 1642:—­“Wherein, as we promise, in the word of a King, all safety and encouragement to such as shall be sent unto us ... for the treaty.”—­Swift.  Very weak.

P. 10. [par. 18.] Clarendon, answer of the Parliament to the King’s message received the 5th of September, 1642.—­Swift. I do not much dislike this answer.

P. 17. [par. 38.] Clarendon. The same rabble entered the house of the Countess of Rivers near Colchester; for no other ground, than that she was a Papist; and in few hours disfurnished it of all the goods.—­Swift. As bad as Scots.

P. 18. [par. 40.] Clarendon. There are monuments enough in the seditious sermons at that time printed ... of such wresting, and perverting of Scripture to the odious purposes of the preacher.—­Swift. I wish I could find them.

P. 20. [par. 43.] Clarendon. Scottish officers.—­Swift. Dogs.

P. 31 [par. 74.] Clarendon..  A thousand at the most.  Most of the persons of quality, etc. [Swift underscores most.]

P. 33. [par. 78.] Clarendon, on the exemption of Prince Rupert from being under the command of the general, Lord Lindsey:—­When the King at midnight, being in his bed, and receiving intelligence of the enemy’s motion, commanded the Lord Falkland, his principal secretary of state, to direct Prince Rupert, what he should do, his Highness took it very ill, and expostulated with the Lord Falkland, for giving him orders.—­Swift. A great mistake in the King, by too much indulgence to Prince Rupert.
