ntence.]--_Swift_. A long confounding period. P. 288. [par. 259, sec. 3.] _Clarendon_. A Solemn League and Covenant. "To preserve ... liberties of the Kingdoms."--_Swift_. Damnable rebel Scots. _Ibid_. [sec. 6.] _Clarendon_, the same:--"And the honour of the King."--_Swift_. By martyrdom. P. 289. [par. 259, conclusion.] _Clarendon_, the same:--"We have not as we ought valued the inestimable benefit of the Gospel."--_Swift_. All very true. P. 291. [par. 264.] _Clarendon_. They very devoutly extolled the Covenant, magnified the Scottish nation, with all imaginable attributes of esteem and reverence,... a nation that had reformed their lives for so small a time, more than ever any people, that they knew of, in the world had done.--_Swift._ Most diabolical Scots. P. 292. [par. 267.] _Clarendon_. [Sir Harry Vane the younger.] There need no more be said of his ability, than that he was chosen to cozen, and deceive a whole nation which was thought to excel in craft and cunning.--_Swift_. Could out-cheat a Scot. P. 293. [par. 269.] _Clarendon_. Those of the nobility and gentry, who did really desire to serve the King, applied themselves to Duke Hamilton.--_Swift_. That duke was a hellish, treacherous villain of a Scot. P. 316. [par. 322.] _Clarendon_. At this time, nothing troubled the King so much, as the intelligence he received from Scotland, that they had already formed their army, and resolved to enter England in the winter season.--_Swift_. Cursed Scots. _Ibid_., line 37.--_Swift_. Scottish Dogs. P. 318. [par. 328.] _Clarendon_, on the proclamation for a Parliament at Oxford.--A proclamation was issued out, containing the true grounds and motives, and mentioning the league of Scotland to invade the kingdom; which was the most universally odious, and detestable.--_Swift_. Hellish Scots. P. 339 [Par. 373.] _Clarendon_, Letter from the Parliament of Oxford to the Earl of Essex. They conjure him to lay to heart:--"the inward bleeding condition of your country, and the outward more menacing destruction by a foreign nation."--_Swift_. Cursed Scotland. P. 340. [par. 377.] _Clarendon_, Essex's answer to the Earl of Forth.--_Swift_. Essex was a cursed rebel. P. 341. [par. 379.] _Clarendon_, on the Declaration of the Scots on entering England.--_Swift_. Abominable, damnable, Scotch hellish dogs for ever. Let them wait for Cromwell to plague them, and enslave their scabby nation. _Ibid_. [par. 380.] _
