"Lord! what a goodly thing is want of shirts!
How a Scotch stomach and no meat converts!
They wanted food and rayment, so they took
Religion for their temptress and their cook.--
Hence then you proud impostors get you gone,
You Picts in gentry and devotion.
You scandal to the stock of verse, a race
Able to bring the gibbet in disgrace.--

"The Indian that heaven did forswear,
Because he heard some Spaniards were there,
Had he but known what Scots in Hell had been,
He would, Erasmus-like, have hung between."

It is probable that this bitterness against our brethren of
North-Britain, chiefly sprang from Mr. Cleveland's resentment of the
Scots Army delivering up the King to the Parliament.

Dr. BARTEN HOLYDAY,

Son of Thomas Holyday, a taylor, was born at All Saints parish, within

several Years at our court as embassador, in which journey Holyday
behaved in a facetious and pleasant manner, which ingratiated him in
the favour of Gundamore[2].

Afterwards our author became chaplain to King Charles I. and succeeded
Dr. Bridges in the archdeaconry of Oxon, before the year 1626. In 1642
he was by virtue of the letters of the said King, created, with
several others, Dr. of divinity. When the rebellion broke out, he
sheltered himself near Oxford; but when he saw the royal party decline
so much that their cause was desperate, he began to tamper with the
prevailing power; and upon Oliver Cromwell's being raised to the
Protectorship, he so far coincided with the Usurper's interests, as to
