that it had been necessary to fire on the Irish fugitives, who would
otherwise have thrown the French ranks into confusion.]

[Footnote 707: True and Perfect journal. London Gazette, July 10 and
14. 1690; Narcissus Luttrell's Diary. In the Life of James Bonnell,
Accountant General of Ireland, (1703) is a remarkable religious
meditation, from which I will quote a short passage. "How did we see the
Protestants on the great day of our Revolution, Thursday the third of
July, a day ever to be remembered by us with the greatest thankfulness,
congratulate and embrace one another as they met, like persons alive
from the dead, like brothers and sisters meeting after a long absence,
and going about from house to house to give each other joy of God's
great mercy, enquiring of one another how they past the late days of
distress and terror, what apprehensions they had, what fears or dangers
they were under; those that were prisoners, how they got their liberty,
how they were treated, and what, from time to time, they thought of
things."]

As he was present, he could not be mistaken. It was probably the crown
which James had been in the habit of wearing when he appeared on the
throne at the King's Inns.]
