_Burnet._ The restless spirit of some of that religion [Popery], and of their clergy in particular, shewed they could not be at quiet till they were masters .-- _Swift._ All sects are of that spirit. P.716.
_Burnet,_ speaking of "the fury that had been driven on for many years by a Popish party," adds:--When some of those who had been always moderate told these, who were putting on another temper, that they would perhaps forget this as soon as the danger was over, they promised the contrary very solemnly.
It shall be told afterwards, how well they remembered this .-- _Swift._ False and spiteful. P.726.
_Burnet._ That which gave the crisis to the King's anger was that he heard I was to be married to a considerable fortune at The Hague .-- _Swift._ A phrase of the rabble. Ibid.
_Burnet,_ when a prosecution was commenced against Burnet in Scotland, he obtained naturalization for himself in Holland, after which he wrote to the Earl of Middleton, saying that:--being now naturalized in Holland, my allegiance was, during my stay in these parts, transferred from His Majesty to the States .-- _Swift._ Civilians deny that, but I agree with him. P.727.
