ived the 5th of September, 1642.--_Swift._ I do not much dislike this answer. P. 17. [par. 38.] _Clarendon._ The same rabble entered the house of the Countess of Rivers near Colchester; for no other ground, than that she was a Papist; and in few hours disfurnished it of all the goods.--_Swift._ As bad as Scots. P. 18. [par. 40.] _Clarendon._ There are monuments enough in the seditious sermons at that time printed ... of such wresting, and perverting of Scripture to the odious purposes of the preacher.--_Swift._ I wish I could find them. P. 20. [par. 43.] _Clarendon._ Scottish officers.--_Swift._ Dogs. P. 31 [par. 74.] _Clarendon._. A thousand at the most. Most of the persons of quality, etc. [Swift underscores _most._] P. 33. [par. 78.] _Clarendon,_ on the exemption of Prince Rupert from being under the command of the general, Lord Lindsey:--When the King at midnight, being in his bed, and receiving intelligence of the enemy's motion, commanded the Lord Falkland, his principal secretary of state, to direct Prince Rupert, what he should do, his Highness took it very ill, and expostulated with the Lord Falkland, for giving him orders.--_Swift._ A great mistake in the King, by too much indulgence to Prince Rupert. P. 40. [par. 90.] _Clarendon._ The King's preferring the Prince's [Rupert's] opinion in all matters relating to the war before his [Lord Lindsey's].--_Swift._ I blame the King's Partiality. P. 48, line 28.--_Swift._ Cursed Scots. P. 50. [par. 109.] _Clarendon._ His Majesty had, from time to time, given his council of that kingdom [Scotland] full relations of all his differences with his Parliament.--_Swift._ Cursed Scots for ever. P. 51. [par. 112.] _Clarendon._ The chief managers and governors in the first war, by their late intercourse, and communication of guilt, having a firm correspondence with the Marquess of Argyle, the Earl of Lowden, and that party.--_Swift._ Always a cursed family of Scots. P. 59. [par. 142.] _Clarendon._ As the inviting the Scots, etc.--_Swift._ Too long a parenthesis. P. 62. [par. 154.] _Clarendon._ For the better recruiting whereof [the Parliament's army], two of their most eminent chaplains, Dr. Downing and Mr. Marshal, publicly avowed, "that the soldiers lately taken prisoners at Brentford, and discharged, and released by the King upon their oaths that they would never again bear arms against him, were not obliged by that oath;" but, by their power, absolved
