P. 65. The king's message to the privy council of Scotland. "Of all-the-indignities which had

been offered to him, he doubted not the duty and affection of his Scottish subjects would have so just a resentment, that they would express to the world they had of his sufferings."-Cursed Scots; to trust them.

P. 66. The same. "There could not be a clearer argument to his subjects of Scotland, that he had had no such thought, (of bringing in foreign forces,) than that he had hitherto forborne to require the assistance of that his native kingdom; from whose obedience, duty, and affection, he should confidently expect it, if he thought his own strength here too weak to preserve him."-In vain.

P. 140. The same. "To which (synod) we shall be willing that some learned divines of our Church of Scotland may be likewise sent."-To confound all.

P. 142. The same. "We conceived we had not left it possible for any man to-suspect that the conversion of our dearest consort was not so much our desire, that the accession of as many crowns as God hath already bestowed on us would not be more welcome to us than that day."-A thorough Papist.

BOOK VII.

P. 199. 66 Being this way secure from any future clamours for peace, they proceeded to try Mr. Tomkins, Mr. Chaloner, Mr. Hambden, who brought the last message from the king," &c.-Which Hambden? Not the rebel Hambden? No, it was one Alexander Hambden.
