been misinformed as to Sawyer's speech.] [Footnote 645: Lords' and Commons' Journals, Jan. 29. 1688/9] [Footnote 646: Clarendon's Diary, Jan. 21. 1688/9; Burnet, i. 810; Doyly's Life of Sancroft;] [Footnote 647: See the Act of Uniformity.] [Footnote 648: Stat. 2 Hen. 7. c. I.: Lord Coke's Institutes, part iii. chap i.; Trial of Cook for high treason, in the Collection of State Trials; Burnet, i. 873. and Swift's note.] [Footnote 649: Lords Journals Jan. 29. 1688/9; Clarendon's Diary; Evelyn's Diary; Citters; Eachard's History of the Revolution; Barnet, i. 813.; History of the Reestablishment of the Government, 1689. The numbers of the Contents and Not Contents are not given in the journals, and are differently reported by different writers. I have followed Clarendon, who took the trouble to make out lists of the majority and minority.] [Footnote 650: Grey's Debates; Evelyn's Diary; Life of Archbishop Sharp, by his son; Apology for the New Separation, in a letter to Dr. John Sharp, Archbishop of York, 1691.] [Footnote 651: Lords' Journals, Jan. 30. 1689/8; Clarendon's Diary.] [Footnote 652: Dartmouth's note on Burnet i. 393.

This was a slip of the pen very pardonable in a hasty marginal note; but Dalrymple and others ought not to have copied so palpable a blunder. Fagel died in Holland, on the 5th of December 1688, when William was at Salisbury and James at Whitehall. The real person was, I suppose, Dykvelt, Bentinck, or Zulestein, most probably Dykvelt.] [Footnote 653: Both the service and Burnet's sermon are still to be found in our great libraries, and will repay the trouble of perusal.] [Footnote 654: Lords' Journals, Jan. 31. 1688/9.] [Footnote 655: Citters, Feb. 5/15. 1689; Clarendon's Diary, Feb. 2. The story is greatly exaggerated in the work entitled Revolution Politics, an eminently absurd book, yet of some value as a record of the foolish reports of the day. Greys Debates.] [Footnote 656: The letter of James, dated Jan 24/Feb 3 1689, will be found in Kennet. It is most disingenuously garbled in Clarke's Life of James. See Clarendon's Diary, Feb. 2. 4.; Grey's Debates; Lords' Journals, Feb. 2. 4. 1688/9.] [Footnote 657: It has been asserted by several writers, and, among others, by Ralph and by M.
