minority.]

[Footnote 652: Dartmouth's note on Burnet i. 393. Dartmouth says that it
was from Fagel that the Lords extracted the hint. This was a slip of the
pen very pardonable in a hasty marginal note; but Dalrymple and others

is a mistake. Probably some person who examined the journals before the
