[Footnote 726: As to this expedition I have consulted the London
Gazettes of July 24. 28. 31. Aug. 4. 1690 Narcissus Luttrell's Diary;
Welwood's Mercurius Reformatus, Sept. 5. the Gazette de Paris; a letter
from My. Duke, a Deputy Lieutenant of Devonshire, to Hampden, dated July
25. a letter from Mr. Fulford of Fulford to Lord Nottingham, dated July
26. a letter of the same date from the Deputy Lieutenants of Devonshire
to the Earl of Bath; a letter of the same date from Lord Lansdowne to
the Earl of Bath. These four letters are among the MSS. of the Royal
Irish Academy. Extracts from the brief are given in Lyson's Britannia.
Dangeau inserted in his journal, August 16., a series of extravagant
lies. Tourville had routed the militia, taken their cannon and colours
burned men of war, captured richly laden merchantships, and was going
to destroy Plymouth. This is a fair specimen of Dangeau's English
news. Indeed he complains that it was hardly possible to get at true
information about England.]

these Discourses contains a curious account of the inquisition into
printing offices tinder the Licensing Act.]

[Footnote 729: This was the ordinary cant of the Jacobites. A Whig
writer had justly said in the preceding year, "They scurrilously call
our David a man of blood, though, to this day, he has not suffered a
drop to be spilt."--Alephibosheth and Ziba, licensed Aug. 30. 1689.]

[Footnote 730: "Restore unto us again the publick worship of thy name,
the reverent administration of thy sacraments. Raise up the former
government both in church and state, that we may be no longer without
King, without priest, without God in the world."]
