en des terribles afflictions."]

Part I, chap. i,]

[Footnote 647: That Lady Shrewsbury was a Jacobite, and did her best
to make her son so, is certain from Lloyd's Paper of May 1694, which is
among the Nairne MSS., and was printed by Macpherson.]

[Footnote 648: This is proved by a few words in a paper which James, in
November 1692, laid before the French government. "Il y a" says he, "le
Comte de Shrusbery, qui, etant Secretaire d'Etat du Prince d'Orange,
s'est defait de sa charge par mon ordre." One copy of this most valuable
paper is in the Archives of the French Foreign Office. Another is among
the Nairne MSS. in the Bodleian Library. A translation into English will
be found in Macpherson's collection.]

[Footnote 651: Among the State Poems (vol. ii. p. 211.) will be found a
piece which some ignorant editor has entitled, "A Satyr written when
the K---- went to Flanders and left nine Lords justices." I have a
manuscript copy of this satire, evidently contemporary, and bearing
the date 1690. It is indeed evident at a glance that the nine persons
satirised are the nine members of the interior council which William
appointed to assist Mary when he went to Ireland. Some of them never
were Lords Justices.]
