the King had no intention of withdrawing till he received a
letter from Halifax, who was then at Hungerford. The letter, she
said, informed His Majesty that, if he staid, his life would be
in danger. This is certainly a mere romance. The King, before the
Commissioners left London, had told Barillon that their embassy
was a mere feint, and had expressed a full resolution to leave
the country. It is clear from Reresby's own narrative that
Halifax thought himself shamefully used.

the shouts on this occasion were uttered merely by some idle
boys, and that the great body of the people looked on in silence.
Oldmixon, who was in the crowd, says the same; and Ralph, whose
prejudices were very different from Oldmixon's, tells us that the
information which he had received from a respectable eye witness
was to the same effect. The truth probably is that the signs of
joy were in themselves slight, but seemed extraordinary because a
violent explosion of public indignation had been expected.

FN 622 Burnet, i,. 802; Ronquillo, Jan. 2/12 Feb. 8/18. 1689. The
originals of these despatches were entrusted to me by the
kindness of the late Lady Holland and of the present Lord
Holland. Prom the latter despatch I will quote a very few words:
"La tema de S. M. Britanica a seguir imprudentes consejos perdio
a los Catolicos aquella quietud en que les dexo Carlos segundo.
V. E. asegure a su Santidad que mas sacare del Principe para los
Catolicos que pudiera sacar del Rey."

FN 623 On December 13/23. 1688, the Admiral of Castile gave his
opinion thus: "Esta materia es de calidad que no puede dexar de
padecer nuestra sagrada religion o el servicio de V. M.; porque,
si e1 Principe de Orange tiene buenos succesos, nos aseguraremos
de Franceses, pero peligrara la religion." The Council was much
pleased on February 16/26 by a letter of the Prince, in which he
promised "que los Catolicos que se portaren con prudencia no sean
molestados, y gocen libertad de conciencia, por ser contra su
dictamen el forzar ni castigar por esta razon a nadie."

FN 624 In the chapter of La Bruyere, entitled "Sur les Jugemens,"
is a passage which deserves to be read, as showing in what light
our revolution appeared to a Frenchman of distinguished
abilities.

FN 627 "'Tis hier nu Hosanna: maar 't zal, veelligt, haast Kruist

odd coincidence that, a very few years before, Richard Duke, a
Tory poet, once well known, but now scarcely remembered except by
Johnson's biographical sketch, had used exactly the same
illustration about James
"Was not of old the Jewish rabble's cry,
Hosannah first, and after crucify?"

FN 635 It seems incredible that any man should really have been
imposed upon by such nonsense. I therefore think it right to
quote Sancroft's words,which are still extant in his own
handwriting:

"The political capacity or authority of the King, and his name in
the government, are perfect and cannot fail; but his person being
human and mortal, and not otherwise privileged than the rest of
mankind, is subject to all the defects and failings of it. He may
therefore be incapable of directing the government and dispensing
the public treasure, &c. either by absence, by infancy, lunacy,
deliracy, or apathy, whether by nature or casual infirmity, or
lastly, by some invincible prejudices of mind, contracted and
fixed by education and habit, with unalterable resolutions
superinduced, in matters wholly inconsistent and incompatible
with the laws, religion, peace, and true policy of the kingdom.
In all these cases (I say) there must be some one or more persons
appointed to supply such defect, and vicariously to him, and by
his power and authority, to direct public affairs. And this done
I say further, that all proceedings, authorities, commissions,
grants, &c. issued as formerly, are legal and valid to all
intents, and the people's allegiance is the same still, their
oaths and obligations no way thwarted . . . . So long as the
government moves by the Kings authority, and in his name, all
those sacred ties and settled forms of proceedings are kept, and
no man's conscience burthened with anything he needs scruple to
undertake."--Tanner MS.; Doyly's Life of Sancroft. It was not
altogether without reason that the creatures of James made
themselves merry with the good Archbishop's English.

of the pen very pardonable in a hasty marginal note; but
Dalrymple and others ought not to have copied so palpable a
blunder. Fagel died in Holland, on the 5th of December 1688, when
William was at Salisbury and James at Whitehall. The real person
was, I suppose, Dykvelt, Bentinck, or Zulestein, most probably
Dykvelt.

FN 656 The letter of James, dated Jan 24/Feb 3 1689, will be

FN 657 It has been asserted by several writers, and, among

events of this stirring time in chronological order. I have
therefore been forced to arrange them by guess: but I think that
I can scarcely be wrong in supposing that the letter of the
Princess of Orange to Danby arrived, and that the Prince's
explanation of his views was given, between Thursday the 31st of
January, and Wednesday the 6th of February.

FN 663 Mulgrave's Account of the Revolution. In the first three
