_Burnet._ [Sir John Cunningham] was not only very learned in the civil and canon law ...

[but] was above all, a man of eminent probity, and of a sweet temper, and indeed one of the _piousest_ men of the nation .-- _Swift._ Is that Scotch?
P.242.

_Burnet._ When the peace of Breda was concluded, the King wrote to the Scottish council, and communicated _that_ to them; and with _that_ signified, _that_ it was his pleasure _that_ the army should be disbanded .-- _Swift._ Four _thats_ in one line.
P.243.

_Burnet._ [Archbishop Burnet] saw Episcopacy was to be pulled down, and ...

writ upon these matters a long and sorrowful letter to Sheldon: And upon that Sheldon writ a very long one to Sir R.Murray; which I read, and found more temper and moderation in it than I could have expected from him .-- _Swift._ Sheldon was a very great and excellent man.
P.245.
