s dog; and so are all his descendants. _Ibid_. [par. 405.] _Clarendon_. Duke Hamilton.--_Swift_. An arrant Scot. _Ibid. Clarendon_. As soon as the King had had fuller intelligence. [Swift alters the second _had to received_.] P. 352. [par. 407.] _Clarendon_. The Duke [Hamilton] had given the King an account,... that though some few hot, and passionate men, desired to put themselves in arms, to stop both elections of the Members, and any meeting together in Parliament; yet, that all sober men ... were clearly of the opinion, to take as much pains as they could to cause good elections to be made.--_Swift._ What! in Scotland? P. 353. [par. 409.] _Clarendon_. About this time the councils at Westminster lost a principal supporter, by the death of John Pym; who died with great torment and agony of a disease unusual, and therefore the more spoken of, _morbus pediculosus,_ as was reported.--_Swift_. I wish all his clan had died of the same disease. BOOK VIII. P. 382. [par. 60.] _Clarendon_. Colonel Ashburnham, then governor of Weymouth, was made choice of for that command; ...and, to make way for him, Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper had been, the year before, removed from that charge; and was thereby so much disobliged, that he quitted the King's party, and gave himself up, body and soul, to the service of the Parliament, with an implacable animosity against the royal interest.--_Swift_. A rogue all his life. P. 385. [par. 66.] _Clarendon_, at Cropredy-bridge:--the [parliamentary] general of their ordnance [was] taken prisoner. This man, one Weemes, a Scotchman, had been as much obliged by the King, as a man of his condition could be, and in a manner very unpopular: for he was made master-gunner of England,... and having never done the King the least service, he took the first opportunity to disserve him.--_Swift_. A cursed, hellish Scot! Why was not the rogue hanged? P-387. [par. 69.] _Clarendon_, Message from the King to the parliamentary army:--It was agreed, that Sir Edward Walker (who was both Garter king at arms, and secretary to the council of war) should be sent to publish that, his Majesty's grace.--_Swift_. A very mean author. P. 388. [par. 74.] _Clarendon_, Battle of Marston-moor:--That party of the King's horse which charged the Scots, so totally routed and defeated their whole army, that they fled all ways for many miles together.--_Swift_. I am glad of that. P. 420. [par. 153.] _Clarendon_. Colone
