P. 16 [par. 30] Clarendon, in a letter from Montrevil—­“They tell me that they will do more than can be expressed”—­Swift.  So the Scots did, and with a vengeance.

Ibid. [ditto] Clarendon, in the same—­“The hindering his Majesty from falling into the hands of the English is of so great importance to them, that it cannot be believed but that they will do all that lies in their power to hinder it”—­Swift.  By delivering him up for money.  Hellish Scottish dogs!

Ibid. [par. 31] Clarendon.  If he [Montrevil] were too sanguine ... when he signed that engagement upon the first of April, etc.—­Swift.  April fool.[6]

[Footnote 6:  The words quoted are the side note, which is not printed in the edition of 1888 [T.S.]]

P. 17 [par. 33] Clarendon.  In this perplexity, he [the King] chose rather to commit himself to the Scots army—­Swift.  To be delivered up for money.

Ibid. [ditto] Clarendon.  He left Oxford, ... leaving those of his council in Oxford who were privy to his going out, not informed whether he would go to the Scots army, etc.—­Swift.  Which would betray him, though his countrymen.

Ibid. [ditto] Clarendon [The King,] in the end, went into the Scots army before Newark—­Swift.  Prodigious weakness, to trust the malicious Scotch hell-hounds.

P. 17. [par. 34.] Clarendon.  The Scottish commissioners at London [assured the Parliament] ... that all their orders would meet with an absolute obedience in their army.—­Swift.  No doubt of it.

P. 18. [par. 35.] Clarendon, in the text of the sermon preached at Newark before the King:—­“And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is near of kin to us:  wherefore then be ye angry for this matter?”—­Swift. Scotch, (opposite to Judah).

P. 21. [par. 41.] Clarendon, Lord Digby and Lord Jermin said:—­that there should be an army of thirty thousand men immediately transported into England, with the Prince of Wales in the head of them.—­Swift.  Gasconade.

P. 23. [par. 50.] Clarendon.  The Parliament made many sharp instances that the King might be delivered into their hands; and that the Scots army would return into their own country, having done what they were sent for, and the war being at an end.—­Swift.  By the event they proved true Scots.

Ibid. [par. 51.] Clarendon. [The Scots] made as great profession to him [the King,] of their duty and good purposes, which they said they would manifest as soon as it should be seasonable.—­Swift.  See the event;—­still Scots.

Ibid. [par. 52.] Clarendon, the Marquess of Montrose.—­Swift The only honest Scot.

P. 24. [par. 53.] Clarendon. [It] is still believed, that if his Majesty would have been induced to have satisfied them in that particular [the extirpation of Episcopacy in England,] they would ... thereupon have declared for the King.—­Swift.  Rather declare for the Devil.
