_Burnet,_ speaking of the Earl of Clarendon's banishment:--It seemed against the common course of justice, to make all corresponding with him treason, when he himself was not attainted of treason .-- _Swift._ Bishop of Rochester's case.
P.257.

_Burnet._ Thus the Lord Clarendon fell under the common fate of great ministers, whose employment exposes them to envy, and draws upon them the indignation of all who are disappointed in their pretensions.
Their friends turning as violently against them, as they formerly fawned abjectly upon them .-- _Swift._ Stupid moralist.
Ibid.

_Burnet,_ speaking of the Earl of Clarendon's eldest son, who afterwards succeeded him, says:--His judgement was not to be _much_ depended on, for he was _much_ carried by vulgar prejudices, and false notions.

He was _much_ in the Queen's favour.

_Swift._ Much, much, much.
P.258.
