BOOK IV
5/36

_Burnet,_ referring to the revived national zeal against Popery, says:--The Episcopal clergy were in many places so sunk into sloth and ignorance, that they were not capable of conducting this zeal: ...

But the Presbyterians, though they were now freed from the great severities they had long smarted under, yet expressed on all occasions their unconquerable aversion to Popery .-- _Swift._ Partial dog! P.682.

_Burnet._ He made the Earl of Tyrconnell Lord Lieutenant .-- _Swift._ Lord deputy.
P.688.

_Burnet._ Nor were the clergy more diligent in their labours among their people, in which respect it must be confessed that the English clergy are the most remiss of any .-- _Swift._ Civil that.
P.690.

_Burnet,_ speaking of King William's character, says:--he had no vice, but of one sort, in which he was very _cautious_ and _secret_ .-- _Swift._ It was of two sorts--_male_ and _female_--in the _former_ he was neither cautious nor secret.
P.691.
