[172] Avaux fully sustains King. He says most regiments were raised 'par des gentilhommes qui n'ont jamais été à l'armée, que ce sont des tailleurs, des bouchers, des cordonniers qui ont formé les compagnies qui les entretiennent à leur despens et en sont les capitaines,' to Louvois, April 16, 1689.

[174] Burnet's _Own Times_, i. 95, and the _Supplement_, ed. Foxcroft, p. 60. The two characters should be compared, that in the published History, written in 1702, being kinder to Ormonde than the original draft written in 1683. Burnet tells us that he had associated more with Ormonde's enemies than with his friends, and looking back at the Caroline court from a convenient distance, he was able to see the old cavalier's superiority. I have read Nicholas French's _Unkind Deserter_, 1676, which is not convincing, though the Bishop proves that Ormonde got larger grants of land than Scævola and Horatius Cocles. A defence of his hero in money matters is in Carte's _Ormonde_, ii. 308 _sqq._, 430. Burnet notes that Ormonde 'writes the best of any man that has no learning that I ever knew.'

The author of _Secret Consults_ is unfair to Keating, but points out (p. 75) that he had 'always been a servant of the Duke of York'; he had done his law business in Ireland, _Hist. MSS.

Hardiman, in his _History of Galway_, p. 155, note, says Lodge's account is unfairly coloured, but does not dispute the facts.
