Macky. Is the first branch of the ancient family of Grey. The present gentleman was much esteemed, when Lord Ruthen; was always very moderate, has good sense, and a good estate; which, with his quality, must make him always bear a considerable figure in the nation.—Swift. He seems a good-natured man, but of very little consequence.
ROBERT, EARL OF LINDSEY [AFTERWARDS DUKE OF ANCASTER].
Macky. A fine gentleman, has both wit and learning.—Swift. I never observed a grain of either.
MONTAGU, EARL OF ABINGDON.
Macky. A gentleman of fine parts, makes a good figure in the counties of Oxford and Buckinghamshire:... is very high for the monarchy and Church.—Swift. Very covetous.
PHILIP, EARL OF CHESTERFIELD.
Macky. He is very subtle and cunning, never entered into the measures of King William, nor ever will, in all probability, make any great appearance in any other reign.—Swift. If it be old Chesterfield, I have heard he was the greatest knave in England.
CHARLES, EARL OF BERKELEY.
Macky. A gentleman of learning, parts, and a lover of the constitution of his country; a short fat man.—Swift. Intolerably lazy and indolent, and somewhat covetous.
