P. 26. [par. 60.] Clarendon.  When the Scots, etc.—­Swift.  Cursed Scots.

P. 27. [par. 62.] Clarendon.  That all Governors of any Garrisons, etc. —­Swift.  Cursed, abominable, hellish, Scottish villains, everlasting traitors, etc., etc., etc.

P. 28. [par. 64.] Clarendon.  The Scots, who were enough convinced that his Majesty could never be wrought upon to sacrifice the Church ... used all the rude importunity and threats to his Majesty, to persuade him freely to consent to all.—­__Swift _.  Most damnable Scots.

Ibid. [par. 65.] Clarendon.  The Chancellor of Scotland told him, etc.—­Swift.  Cursed Scots Chancellor [this remark obliterated].

Ibid. [par. 66.] Clarendon.  The General Assembly ... had petitioned the conservators of the peace of the kingdom, that if the King should refuse to give satisfaction to his Parliament, he might not be permitted to come into Scotland.—­Swift.  Scots inspired by Beelzebub.

P. 29. [par. 68.] Clarendon.  They agreed; and, upon the payment of two hundred thousand pounds in hand, and security for as much more upon days agreed upon, the Scots delivered the King up.—­Swift.  Cursed Scot! sold his King for a groat.  Hellish Scots.

Ibid. [par. 69.] Clarendon.  In this infamous manner that excellent prince was ... given up, by his Scots subjects, to those of his English who were intrusted by the Parliament to receive him.—­Swift.  From this period the English Parliament were turned into Scotch devils.

P. 31. [par. 76.] Clarendon, Sir Harry Killigrew:—­When the Earl of Essex was chosen general, and the several members of the House stood up, and declared, what horse they would raise, ... one saying he would raise ten horses, and another twenty, he stood up and said, “he would provide a good horse, and a good buff coat, and a good pair of pistols, and then he doubted not but he should find a good cause;” and so went out of the House, and rode post into Cornwall.—­Swift.  Another loyall man used the like saying.

P. 53. [par. 118.] Clarendon.  Many years after, when he [the Duke of York] ... made the full relation of all the particulars to me, with that commotion of spirit, that it appeared to be deeply rooted in him; [speaking of the King’s injunctions to the duke].—­Swift.  Yet he lived and died a rank Papist, and lost his kingdom.

P. 55. [par. 121.] Clarendon.  No men were fuller of professions of duty [to the King], ... than the Scottish commissioners.—­Swift The Scots dogs delivered up their King.  False-hearted Scots. [This addition obliterated.]

Ibid. [par. 122.] Clarendon.  The agitators, and council of officers, sent some propositions to the King.—­Swift.  Detestable villains, almost as bad as Scots.
