This _Bellcampo_, Lord of the Isles, was an insinuating self-interested Man, had little Fortune of his own, but resolved to raise himself which side soever got upmost: He run with every Stream, kept fair with every Side, spoke smoothly to all, meant Service to none, his dear Self excepted. By this means he got up from one Step to another to some good Employments, which his Interest and Diligence procured for him rather than his Sincerity; for he was first made a Peer on the Side he now acted against, and now a Judge acting against the Side made him a Peer, and the like. These were the Instruments of the Fate of North _Atalantis_; _Marereskine_ acted one Part, _Greeniccio_ another: And here it is, as I said before, that the differing Parties, appeared so like our _Whig_ and _Tory_, _Episcopal_ and _Presbyterian_, that I cannot better describe them to you than by the same Names, only with this Difference, That all the _Tories_ and _Episcopal_ People in North _Atalantis_ were _Tartarians_ profestly, and boldly owned themselves for the _Tartarian_ Emperor. And now the two last mentioned Engines, having acted covertly for some time, which they had the better opportunity to do, because they had both appeared among the other Party, _which now I'll call Whigs_; before, the first of these carried it stiff and forward when he talked with the great Officers, or such Lords as had some Dependance upon the Court: He told them of what the Queen expected from them, what was their Duty to do, that they would find it their Interest to do so and so, that they might consider in Time what they had to do, and the like: When he talk'd with any of the _Whig_ Lords, for there was a Squadron of them left, that had a great sway yet in the Country, then he would talk of him, and Party and Queen, as one Knot, in the plural Number, most haughtily, thus: We are resolved to do so and so, and we must have none but such or such.
