P. 89. [par. 179.] Clarendon.  The vile artifices of the Scottish commissioners to draw the King into their hands.—­Swift.  Vile, treacherous Scots for ever.

BOOK XI.

P. 97. [par. 13.] Clarendon, on the discourses against the English in the Scottish Parliament:—­This discourse ... was entertained by the rest with so general a reception, that Argyle found it would be to no purpose directly to contradict or oppose it.—­Swift.  An infamous dog, like all his family.

P. 108. [par. 35.] Clarendon.  The Prince [Charles II.] set sail first for Yarmouth road, then for the Downs, having sent his brother, the Duke of York, with all his family, to The Hague.—­Swift.  A sorry admiral.

P. 109 [ditto] Clarendon.  The Prince determining to engage his own person, he [the Duke] submitted to the determination—­Swift.  Popery and cowardice stuck with him all his life.

Ibid. [par. 36] Clarendon.  The Prince came prepared to depend wholly upon the Presbyterian party, which, besides the power of the Scots army, which was every day expected to invade England, was thought to be possessed of all the strength of the City of London.—­Swift.  Curse on the rogues!

Ibid. [same par.] Clarendon.  Sent from the Scots[7]—­Swift.  So much the worse to rely on the cursed Scots.

P. 112 [par. 43] Clarendon.  Argyle took notice of Sir Marmaduke Langdale’s, and Sir Philip Musgrave’s being in the town.—­Swift.  That Scotch dog.

P. 117 [par. 53] Clarendon.  Sir Philip Musgrave, that it might appear that they did not exclude any who had taken the Covenant, etc.—­Swift.  Confound their damnable Covenant!

P. 129 [par. 85] Clarendon.  Defeat of the Scots army—­Swift.  I cannot be sorry.

Ibid. [pars. 86, 87] Clarendon, after the defeat of the Scottish army, the Earl of Lauderdale had been sent to The Hague The Prince of Wales—­thought fit, that the earl should give an account of his commission at the board, ... and, that all respect might be shewed to the Parliament of Scotland, he had a chair allowed him to sit upon—­Swift.  Respect to a Scotch Parliament, with a pox.

P. 130 [par. 87] Clarendon.  Redeem His Majesty’s person from that captivity, which they held themselves obliged ... to endeavour to do—­Swift.  Not to do.

P. 133 [par. 96] Clarendon.  Within a short time after, orders were sent out of Scotland for the delivery of Berwick and Carlisle to the Parliament—­Swift.  Cursed Scots.
