BOOK II.
P. 88. [par. 18.] Clarendon. There was so little curiosity either in the court, or the country, to know anything of Scotland, or what was done there, that when the whole nation was solicitous to know what passed weekly in Germany, and Poland, and all other parts of Europe, no man ever enquired what was doing in Scotland, nor had that kingdom a place or mention in one page of any gazette.—Swift. Should Bridewell news be in any gazette?
P.88. [par 18.] Clarendon. The people [the Scotch] after they had once begun, pursued the business vigorously, and with all imaginable contempt of the government.—Swift. Scottish scoundrels!
P. 94. [par. 38.] Clarendon in the address of the Scots to the King:—Lamenting "their ill fortune that their enemies had so great credit with the King, as to persuade him to believe that they were or could be disobedient to him, a thing that could never enter into their loyal hearts."—Swift. Scotch dogs!
Ibid. [par. 39.] Clarendon. Into Scotland ... as far as a place called Dunce.—Swift. "Dunce" underlined.
P. 95. [par. 42.] Clarendon. The Covenanters ... were very reasonably exalted with this success, [the retreat of the Earl of Holland from Dunse,] and scattered their letters abroad amongst the noblemen at court, according to the humours of the men to whom they writ.—Swift. Cursed Scots for ever!
P. 96. [par. 46.] Clarendon, speaking of the Marquess of Hamilton.—Swift. A cursed true Scot!
P. 100. [par. 55] Clarendon The Scots got so much benefit and advantage by it [the treaty of pacification], that they brought all their other mischievous devices to pass, with ease.—Swift. Confounded Scots!
P. 101. [par. 58.] Marginal note to Clarendon: The Earl of Argyle joins with the Covenanters, notwithstanding his great obligations to the King.—Swift. All Argyles, cursed Scottish hell-hounds for ever!
P. 103. [par. 60.] Clarendon, on the letter from the Scotch nobility to the French King, which was intercepted, and upon Lord Lowden, in his examination:—refusing to give any other answer, than that it was writ before the agreement ... and never sent; that if he had committed any offence, he ought to be questioned for it in Scotland, and not in England.—Swift. Scottish traitors!
Ibid. [par. 61.] Clarendon. The opinion of the prejudice and general aversion over the whole kingdom to the Scots, and the indignation they had at their presumption in their design of invading England, made it believed that a Parliament would express a very sharp sense of their insolence and carriage towards the King.—Swift. Cursed hellish Scots for ever!
P. 104. [par. 62.] Clarendon, on the calling together of the Parliament in 1640:—The King ... directed the lord-keeper to issue out writs for the meeting of a Parliament upon the third day of April then next ensuing.—Swift. April 3d for knaves; the 1st for fools!
P. 114. [par, 90.] Clarendon. The Scots army ... were always beaten.—Swift. "Always beaten" trebly underlined.
P. 116. [par. 97.] Clarendon The convocation-house (the regular and legal assembling of the clergy) customarily beginning and ending with Parliaments, was, after the determination of the last, by a new writ continued.—Swift. Convocations of the clergy are as legal and as necessary as those of the laity.
P. 122. [par 108.] Clarendon, on the commissioners who met at Ripon:—When these commissioners from the King arrived at Ripon, there came others from the Scots army of a quality much inferior—Swift. A cursed committee!
Ibid. [par. 108.] Clarendon. Alexander Henderson.—Swift. A cursed fanatic! (Written in pencil, and partially rubbed out.)
P. 123. [par. 109.] Clarendon. There was not a man of all the English, etc.—Swift. Cursed hellish Scots!
P. 124. [par. 111.] Clarendon. They brought them with them and presented them to the King [Swift underscores them.]
Ibid. [par. 113.] Clarendon. Three of the commissioners, and no more, were of the King's council, the Earls of Pembroke, Salisbury, and Holland.—Swift. Bad counsellors.
P. 125. [par. 116.] Clarendon The commissioners at Ripon quickly agreed upon the cessation; and were not unwilling to have allowed fifty thousand pounds a month for the support of the Scots army, when they did assign but thirty thousand pounds a month for the payment of the King's.—Swift. Greedy Scotch rebellious dogs.
P. 129. [par. 126.] Clarendon. It must not be doubted that there were many particular persons of honour of that nation who abhorred the outrages which were committed.—Swift. I doubt it; for they were Scots.
P. 130. [par. 128.] Clarendon. It can hardly be conceived, with what entire confidence in each other, the numerous and not very rich nobility of Scotland ... concurred in the carrying on this rebellion.—Swift. Beggarly, beggarly!
