第506章 CHAPTER X(45)

FN 32 Barillon has given the best account of this debate. I will extract his report of Mordaunt's speech. "Milord Mordaunt, quoique jeune, parla avec eloquence et force. Il dit que la question n'etoit pas reduite, comme la Chambre des Communes le pretendoit, a guerir des jalousies et defiances, qui avoient lieu dans les choses incertaines; mais que ce qui ce passoit ne l'etoit pas, qu'il y avoit une armee sur pied qui subsistoit, et qui etoit remplie d'officiers Catholiques, qui ne pouvoit etre conservee que pour le renversement des loix, et que la subsistance de l'armee, quand il n'y a aucune guerre ni au dedans ni au dehors, etoit l'etablissement du gouvernement arbitraire, pour lequel les Anglois ont une aversion si bien fondee."FN 33 He was very easily moved to tears. "He could not," says the author of the Panegyric, "refrain from weeping on bold affronts."And again "They talk of his hectoring and proud carriage; what could be more humble than for a man in his great post to cry and sob?" In the answer to the Panegyric it is said that "his having no command of his tears spoiled him for a hypocrite."FN 34 Lords' Journals, Nov. 19. 1685; Barillon, Nov. 23 / Dec. 3.

Dutch Despatch, Nov. 20/30.; Luttrell's Diary, Nov. 19.; Burnet, i. 665. The closing speeds of Halifax is mentioned by the Nuncio in his despatch of Nov. 16/26. Adda, about a month later, hears strong testimony to Halifax's powers, "Da questo uomo che ha gran credito nel parlamento, e grande eloquenza, non si possono attendere che fiere contradizioni, e nel parlito Regio non vi e un uomo da contrapporsi." Dec. 21/31.

FN 35 Lords' and Commons' Journals, Nov. 20. 1685.

FN 40 Lords' Journals, Nov. 9, to. 16. 1685.

FN 41 Speech on the Corruption of the Judges in Lord Delamere's works, 1694.

FN 42 Fu una funzione piena di gravita, di ordine, e di gran speciosita. Adda, Jan. 15/25. 1686.

FN 43 The Trial is in the Collection of State Trials. Leeuwen, Jan. 15/25. 19/29. 1686.

FN 47 Clarke's Life of James the Second, ii. 9., Orig. Mem.

FN 48 Leeuwen, Jan. 1/11 and 12/22 1686. Her letter, though very long and very absurd, was thought worth sending to the States General as a sign of the times.

FN 49 See his trial in the Collection of State Trials, and his curious manifesto, printed in 1681.

FN 50 Memoires de Grammont; Pepys's Diary, Aug. 19. 1662.

FN 55 Adda, Nov. 16/26, Dec. 7/17. and Dec. 21/31. 1685. In these despatches Adda gives strong reasons for compromising matters by abolishing the penal laws and leaving the test. He calls the quarrel with the Parliament a "gran disgrazia." He repeatedly hints that the King might, by a constitutional policy, have obtained much for the Roman Catholics, and that the attempt to relieve them illegally is likely to bring great calamities on them.

FN 56 Fra Paulo, tib. vii.; Pallavicino, lib. xviii. cap. 15.

FN 57 This was the practice of his daughter Anne; and Marlborough said that she had learned it from her father--Vindication of the Duchess of Marlborough.

FN 58 Down to the time of the trial of the Bishops, James went on telling Adda that all the calamities of Charles the First were "per la troppa indulgenza."--Despatch of 1688.

FN 59 Barillon, Nov. 16/26. 1685; Lewis to Barillon, Nov. 28/Dec.

6. 26. In a highly curious paper which was written in 1687, almost certainly by Bonrepaux, and which is now in the French archives, Sunderland is described thus-"La passion qu'il a pour le jeu, et les pertes considerables quil y fait, incommodent fort ses affaires. Il n'aime pas le vin; et il hait les femmes."FN 60 It appears from the Council Book that he took his place as president on the 4th of December, 1685.

FN 61 Bonrepaux was not so easily deceived as James. "En son particulier il (Sunderland) n'en professe aucune (religion), et en parle fort librement. Ces sortes de discours seroient en execration en France. Ici ils sont ordinaires parmi un certain nombre de gens du pais."--Bonrepaux to Seignelay, May 25/June 41687.

FN 62 Clarke's Life of James the Second, ii, 74. 77. Orig. Mem.;Sheridan MS.; Barillon, March 19/29 1686.

FN 63 Reresby's Memoirs; Luttrell's Diary, Feb. 2. 1685/6Barillon, Feb. Jan. 25/Feb 4.

FN 64 Dartmouth's note on Burnet, i. 621. In a contemporary satire it is remarked that Godolphin "Beats time with politic head, and all approves, Pleased with the charge of the Queen's muff and gloves."FN 65 Pepys, Oct. 4. 1664.

FN 66 Pepys, July 1. 1663.

FN 67 See Dorset's satirical lines on her.

FN 68 The chief materials for the history of this intrigue are the despatches of Barillon and Bonrepaux at the beginning of the year 1686. See Barillon, Jan 25./Feb 4. Feb. 1/11. Feb. 8/18.

Feb. 19/29. and Bonrepaux under the first four Dates; Evelyn's Diary, Jan. 29.; Reresby's Memoirs; Burnet, i. 682.; Sheridan MS.; Chaillot MS.; Adda's Despatches, Jan 22/Feb 1. and Jan 29/Feb 8 1686. Adda writes like a pious, but weak and ignorant man. He appears to have known nothing of James's past life.
