SECRETARY [JAMES] JOHNSTOUN, NOW LORD-REGISTER.
Macky. Is a younger son of my Lord Warriston, who was beheaded. ... He is very honest, [Swift, a treacherous knave,] yet something too credulous and suspicious; endued with a great deal of learning and virtue; is above little tricks, free from ceremony; and would not tell a lie for the world.—Swift. One of the greatest knaves even in Scotland.
