ole [S.] [211] When secretary at war, Walpole received L500 from the contractors for forage; and although he alleged that it was a sum due to a third party in the contract, and only remitted through his hands, he was voted guilty of corruption, expelled the House, and sent to the Tower, by the Tory Parliament. [S.] [212] King George II. [S.] [213] Sir Spencer Compton, Speaker of the House of Commons. [S.] [214] Sir Thomas Hanmer. [S.] [215] About a million sterling. [D. S.] [216] This piece is included here on the authority of Mr. Deane Swift, and was accepted by Sir Walter Scott on the same authority. The writing is excellent and bears every mark of Swift's hand. In the note to the "Letter to the Writer of the Occasional Paper" was included the heads of a paper which Swift suggested, found by Sir H. Craik. The present "Answer" may serve as further evidence of Sir H. Craik's suggestion that Swift may have assisted Pulteney and Bolingbroke on more than one occasion. The present text is that of the 1768 quarto edition. [T. S.] [217] "Gasping," 1768; "grasping," Nichols, 1801. [T. S.] [218] "For neither man nor angel can discern Hypocrisy--the only evil that walks Invisible, except to God alone, By His permissive will, through heaven and earth, And oft, though Wisdom wake, Suspicion sleeps At Wisdom's gate, and to Simplicity Resigns her charge, while Goodness thinks no ill Where no ill seems."-- _Paradise Lost_, Book III., 682-689.
