Ibid. [par. 210.] Clarendon, on the King's passing this Bill. —Swift. I wish the author had enlarged here upon what motives the King passed that Bill.
P 205 [par 210] Clarendon, on the same.—Swift The King by this act utterly ruined.
P 207 [par 217] Clarendon, on the passing of the tonnage and poundage bill—And so in expectation and confidence, that they would make glorious additions to the state and revenue of the crown, His Majesty suffered himself to be stripped of all that he had left.—Swift Great weakness in the King.
P 225 [par 271] Clarendon These Acts of Parliament, etc will be acknowledged, by an uncorrupted posterity, to be everlasting monuments of the King's princely and fatherly affection to his people.—Swift Rather of his weakness.
BOOK IV
P 237 [par 24] Clarendon A general insurrection of the Irish, spread itself over the whole country, in such an inhumane and barbarous manner, that there were forty or fifty thousand of the English Protestants murdered.—Swift At least.
P 243 [par 43] Clarendon That which should have been an act of oblivion, was made a defence and justification of whatsoever they [the Scotch] had done.—Swift Scot, Scot, Scot, for ever Scot.
P 244 [par 47] Clarendon His Majesty having never received any considerable profit from Scotland, etc.—Swift How could he, from Scottish rebels and beggars?
P 245 [par 47] Clarendon Surely he had then very hard thoughts of a great part of the nation [the Scotch].—Swift Who can doubt of it?
P 257 [par 87] Clarendon The propositions made from Scotland, "for the sending ten thousand men from thence, into Ulster, to be paid by the Parliament," were consented to, whereby some soldiers were dispatched thither, to defend their own plantation, and did in truth, at our charge, as much oppress the English that were there, as the rebels could have done.—Swift Send cursed rebel Scots, who oppressed the English in that kingdom as the Irish rebels did, and were governors of that province, etc.
