BOOK I
6/11

_Burnet,_ speaking of the bad effects of the Marquess of Montrose's expedition and defeat, says:--It alienated the Scots much from the King: It exalted all that were enemies to peace.

Now they seemed to have some colour for all those aspersions they had cast on the King, as if he had been in a correspondence with the Irish rebels, when the worst tribe of them had been thus employed by him .-- _Swift._ Lord Clarendon differs from all this.
P.41.

_Burnet._ The Earl of Essex told me, that he had taken all the pains he could to enquire into the original of the Irish massacre, but could never see any reason to believe the King had any accession to it .-- _Swift._ And who but _a beast_ ever believed it?
P.42.

_Burnet,_ arguing with the Scots concerning the propriety of the King's death, observes:--Drummond said, "Cromwell had plainly the better of them at their own weapon."-- _Swift._ And Burnet thought as Cromwell did.
P.46.

_Burnet._ They [the army] will ever keep the Parliament in subjection to them, and so keep up their own authority .-- _Swift._ Weak.
Ibid.
