_Ibid_. [par. 113.] _Clarendon_. Three of the commissioners, and no more, were of the King's council, the Earls of Pembroke, Salisbury, and Holland.--_Swift_. Bad counsellors. P. 125. [par. 116.] _Clarendon_ The commissioners at Ripon quickly agreed upon the cessation; and were not unwilling to have allowed fifty thousand pounds a month for the support of the Scots army, when they did assign but thirty thousand pounds a month for the payment of the King's.--_Swift_. Greedy Scotch rebellious dogs. P. 129. [par. 126.] _Clarendon_. It must not be doubted that there were many particular persons of honour of that nation who abhorred the outrages which were committed.--_Swift_. I doubt it; for they were Scots. P. 130. [par. 128.] _Clarendon_. It can hardly be conceived, with what entire confidence in each other, the numerous and _not very rich_ nobility of Scotland ... concurred in the carrying on this rebellion.--_Swift_. Beggarly, beggarly! BOOK III. P. 148. [par. 32.] _Clarendon_. Mr. Saint-John ... a natural son of the house of Bullingbrook.--_Swift_. A bastard. P. 151. [par. 38.] _Clarendon_. The Earl of Rothes ... was a man very well bred, of very good parts, and great address.--_Swift_. A Scotch freethinker. P. 152. [par. 42.] _Clarendon_, on the order of the Houses of Parliament, to use the appellation of "our brethren of Scotland" towards the Scotch commissioners.--_Swift_ Cursed Scots, brethren in iniquity. P. 153 [par 44] _Clarendon_ The allegation was, "That the charge against the Earl of Stafford was of an extraordinary nature, being to make a treason evident out of a complication of several ill acts, That he must be traced through many dark paths," etc.--_Swift._ As a boy. _Ibid_ [par 45] _Clarendon_ It was alleged, "That at his coming from Ireland the Earl had said in council there, That if ever he returned to that sword again, he would not leave a Scottishman in that kingdom".--_Swift_ And it was a good resolution. P 153 [par 45] _Clarendon_ ---- "And at his arrival in this kingdom, the lord mayor and some aldermen of London attending the board about the loan of moneys, and not giving that satisfaction was expected, that he should tell the King, That it would never be well till he hanged up a Lord Mayor of London in the City to terrify the rest".--_Swift_ At worst, only a rash expression. P 155 [par 50] _Clarendon_ Hereupon, in one day, were sworn privy councillors, much to the public joy, the Earl of Hertford (whom the King afterwards made marquess), the Earl of Bedford, the Earl of Essex, the Earl of Bristol, the Lord Say, the Lord Saville, and the Lord Kimbolton, and within two or three days after, the Earl of Warwick.--_Swift_ All [_rogues,_ perhaps,[4]] but the first.
