tancy, offer ... "to suspend Episcopacy for three years," etc.--_Swift_. Prudent concessions. _Ibid_. [ditto.] _Clarendon_, he consented:--likewise, "that money should be raised upon the sale of the Church lands, and only the old rent should be reserved to the just owners and their successors."--_Swift_. Scotch principles. _Ibid_. [par. 173.] _Clarendon_. They required farther, "that in all cases, when the Lords and Commons shall declare the safety of the kingdom to be concerned, unless the King give his royal assent to such a Bill as shall be tendered to him for raising money, the Bill shall have the force of an Act of Parliament, as if he had given his royal assent."--_Swift_. English dogs, as bad as Scots. P. 170. [par. 176.] _Clarendon_, on the King's concessions.--_Swift_. After so many concessions, the commissioners shewed themselves most damnable villains. P. 172. [par. 181.] _Clarendon_. [The King] confessed, "If they would preserve the Scripture Bishop he would take away the Bishop by Law."--_Swift_. Indeed! a great concession. P. 174. [par. 187.] _Clarendon_. For Scotland, they demanded "the King's consent, to confirm by Act of Parliament such agreements as should be made by both Houses with that kingdom ... for the settling and preserving a happy and durable peace between the two nations, and for the mutual defence of each other."--_Swift_.

[par. 189.] _Clarendon_. The major part of both Houses of Parliament was, at that time, so far from desiring the execution of all those concessions, that, if they had been able to have resisted the wild fury of _the army_, they would have been themselves suitors to have declined the greatest part of them.--_Swift_. Diabolical villains. P. 177. [par. 193.] _Clarendon_. It cannot be imagined how wonderfully fearful some persons in France were that he [the King] should have made his escape, and the dread they had of his coming thither.--_Swift_. French villains. P. 180. [par. 198.] _Clarendon_, the Commons sent to Winchester:--their well tried Serjeant Wild, to be the sole judge of that circuit.--_Swift_. An infernal dog. _Ibid_. [par. 200.] _Clarendon_. Young Sir Harry Vane had begun the debate [upon the treaty] with the highest insolence, and provocation.--_Swi
