that time, Kennet, Eachard, and Oldmixon. See also the Caveat against
the Whigs.]

second editions; Barillon, Sept. 8/18 1688; Citters of the same date;
Clarke's Life of James the Second, ii. 168. The compiler of the last
mentioned work says that Churchill moved the court to sentence the six
officers to death. This story does not appear to have been taken from
the King's papers; I therefore regard it as one of the thousand fictions
invented at Saint Germains for the purpose of blackening a character

to believe that a man of his sense would have urged the members of a
council of war to inflict a punishment which was notoriously beyond
their competence.]

[Footnote 449: The song of Lillibullero is among the State Poems, to
Percy's Relics the first part will be found, but not the second part,
which was added after William's landing. In the Examiner and in several
pamphlets of 1712 Wharton is mentioned as the author.]

[Footnote 450: See the Negotiations of the Count of Avaux. It would be
almost impossible for me to cite all the passages which have furnished
me with materials for this part of my narrative. The most important will
be found under the following dates: 1685, Sept. 20, Sept. 24, Oct. 5,
Dec. 20; 1686, Jan. 3, Nov. 22; 1687, Oct. 2, Nov. 6, Nov. 19 1688, July
29, Aug. 20. Lord Lonsdale, in his Memoirs, justly remarks that, but for
the mismanagement of Lewis, the city of Amsterdam would have prevented
the Revolution.]
