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_.

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
