l Hurry, a Scotchman, who had formerly served the Parliament, and is well mentioned, in the transactions of the last year, for having quitted them, and performed some signal service to the King,... desired a pass to go beyond the seas, and so quitted the service: but instead of embarking himself, made haste to London; and put himself now into the Earl of Manchester's army, and made a discovery of all he knew of the King's army.--_Swift_. Mentioned before, and then I was deceived by him; but now I find him a cursed true Scot. P. 427. [par. 167.] _Clarendon_. After the battle of York, the Scots returned to reduce Newcastle; which they had already done; and all other garrisons which had held out for the King.--_Swift_. Most damnable Scots. _Ibid_. [par. 168.] _Clarendon_. The King's army was less united than ever; the old general was set aside, and Prince Rupert put into the command, which was no popular change.--_Swift_. Too fond of his nephews. _Ibid_. [par. 169.] _Clarendon_. Wilmot loved debauchery.--_Swift_. Character of Wilmot and Goring. P. 453. [par. 233.] _Clarendon_, Treaty at Uxbridge: Debates about the militia. They insisted:--upon having the whole command of the militia by sea, and land, and all the forts, and ships of the kingdom at their disposal; without which they looked upon themselves as lost, and at the King's mercy; not considering that he must be at theirs, if such a power was committed to them.--_Swift_. The case seems doubtful. The point should be undecided. P. 454. [par. 235.] _Clarendon_, the same: Ireland. The Chancellor of the Exchequer:--put them in mind, ... [that] one hundred thousand pounds, brought in by the adventurers for Ireland, had been sent in one entire sum into _Scotland_, to prepare and dispose that kingdom to send an army to invade this.--_Swift_ Cursed. P. 456. [On this page two _ands_ are erased.] P. 457. [par. 241.] _Clarendon_. The conversation ... made a great discovery of the faction that was in the Parliament ... that the Scots would insist _upon_ the whole government of the Church, and in all other matters would _defer_ to the King.--_Swift_. [Instead of _upon,_] to destroy; [and instead of _defer,_] to betray. _Ibid_. [par. 242.] _Clarendon_. Satisfied, that in the particular which concerned the Church, the Scots would never depart from a tittle.--_Swift_. Scots hell-hounds. P. 466. [par. 262.] _Clarendon_. After the battle at York, ... the Scotch arm
