P. 40. [par. 90.] Clarendon. The King’s preferring the Prince’s [Rupert’s] opinion in all matters relating to the war before his [Lord Lindsey’s].—Swift. I blame the King’s Partiality.
P. 48, line 28.—Swift. Cursed Scots.
P. 50. [par. 109.] Clarendon. His Majesty had, from time to time, given his council of that kingdom [Scotland] full relations of all his differences with his Parliament.—Swift. Cursed Scots for ever.
P. 51. [par. 112.] Clarendon. The chief managers and governors in the first war, by their late intercourse, and communication of guilt, having a firm correspondence with the Marquess of Argyle, the Earl of Lowden, and that party.—Swift. Always a cursed family of Scots.
P. 59. [par. 142.] Clarendon. As the inviting the Scots, etc.—Swift. Too long a parenthesis.
P. 62. [par. 154.] Clarendon. For the better recruiting whereof [the Parliament’s army], two of their most eminent chaplains, Dr. Downing and Mr. Marshal, publicly avowed, “that the soldiers lately taken prisoners at Brentford, and discharged, and released by the King upon their oaths that they would never again bear arms against him, were not obliged by that oath;” but, by their power, absolved them thereof.—Swift. Perfect Popery.
P. 65. [par. 161.] Clarendon, the King’s message to the privy council of Scotland:—“Of all ... the ... indignities, which had been offered to him, he doubted not the duty and affection of his Scottish subjects would have so just a resentment, that they would express to the world the sense they had of his sufferings.”—Swift. Cursed Scots; to trust them.
P. 66. [par. 163.] Clarendon, the same;—“There could not be a clearer argument to his subjects of Scotland that he had no such thought, [of bringing in foreign forces,] than that he had hitherto forborne to require the assistance of that his native kingdom; from whose obedience, duty, and affection, he should confidently expect it, if he thought his own strength here too weak to preserve him.”—Swift. In vain. Clarendon. “And of whose courage, and loyalty, he should look to make use.”—Swift. And never find.
Ibid. [par. 164.] Clarendon, the same:—“He could not doubt, a dutiful concurrence in his subjects of Scotland, in the care of his honour, and just rights, would draw down a blessing upon that nation too.”—Swift. A Scot’s blessing.
P. 67. [par. 165.] Clarendon. Other fruit of their [the Scots’] allegiance he [the King] expected not, than that they should not rebel.—Swift. But they did.
P. 81. [par. 204,] Clarendon, the King’s declaration:—“These are the men who ... at this time invite, and solicit our subjects of Scotland, to enter this land with an army against us.”—Swift. Damnable Scots.
