the discovery of the treachery of Sir Richard Willis.--_Swift_. Doubtful. P. 539. [par. 47.[9]] _Clarendon_. If it had not been for the King's own _steadiness_.--_Swift_. Of which, in religion, he never had any. [Footnote 9: This was par. 74 in the edition of 1849. [T.S.]] P. 540. [par. 75.] _Clarendon_, upon the Duke of York's being invited into Spain, with the office of El Admirante del Oceano, he was warned that he:--would never be suffered to go to sea under any title of command, till he first changed his religion.--_Swift_. As he did openly in England. P. 559. [par. 131.] _Clarendon_. There being scarce a bon-fire at which they did not roast a rump.--_Swift_. The _Rump_. P. 583. [par. 194.] _Clarendon_, Declaration of the King, April 4-1/4 1660:--"Let all our subjects, how faulty soever, rely upon the word of a King," etc.--_Swift_. Usually good for nothing. _Ibid_. [ditto.] _Clarendon_, the same:--"A free Parliament; by which, upon the word of a King, we will be advised."--_Swift_. Provided he be an honest and sincere man. P. 585. [par. 199.] _Clarendon_, Letter to the fleet:--"Which gives us great encouragement and hope, that God Almighty will heal the wounds by the same plaster that made the flesh raw."--_Swift_. A very low comparison. P. 586. [par. 201.] _Clarendon_, Letter to the city of London:--"Their affections to us in the city of London; which hath exceedingly raised our spirits, and which, no doubt, hath proceeded from the Spirit of God, and His extraordinary mercy to the nation; which hath been encouraged by you, and your good example ... to discountenance the imaginations of those who would subject our subjects to a government they have not yet devised."--_Swift_. Cacofonia. P. 595. [par. 222.] _Clarendon_, Proclamation of the King, May 8, by the Parliament, Lord Mayor, etc.:--"We ... acknowledge, ... that ... he [Charles II.] is of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, the most potent, mighty, and undoubted King; and thereunto we most humbly and faithfully do submit, and oblige ourselves, our heirs, and posterity for ever."--_Swift_. Can they oblige their posterity 10,000 years to come? P. 596. [par. 225]. _Clarendon_, The case of Colonel Ingoldsby: After he had refused to sign the death-warrant of the King:--Cromwell, and others, held him by violence; and Cromwell, with a loud laughter, taking his hand in his, and putting the pen between his fingers, with his own hand writ R
