Le Fevre, a French physician, told me, he saw a blackness in the shoulder; Upon which he made an incision, and saw it was all mortified.

Short, another physician, who was a Papist, but after a form of his own, did very much suspect foul dealing .-- _Swift_.

One physician told me this from Short himself.
P.611._Burnet_, describing the behaviour of Charles II.

when in hiding after the battle of Worcester, says:--Under all the apprehensions he had then upon him, he shewed a temper so careless, and so much turned to levity, that he was then diverting himself with little household sports, in as unconcerned a manner, as if he had made no loss, and had been in no danger at all .-- _Swift._ This might admit a more favourable turn.
P.613.

_Burnet,_ in his character of Charles II., says:--His person and temper, his vices as well as his fortunes, resemble the character that we have given us of Tiberius so much, that it were easy to draw the parallel between them.
