[Footnote 623: On December 13/23. 1688, the Admiral of Castile gave his
opinion thus: "Esta materia es de calidad que no puede dexar de padecer
nuestra sagrada religion o el servicio de V. M.; porque, si e1 Principe
de Orange tiene buenos succesos, nos aseguraremos de Franceses, pero

by a letter of the Prince, in which he promised "que los Catolicos

conciencia, por ser contra su dictamen el forzar ni castigar por esta
razon a nadie."]

an odd coincidence that, a very few years before, Richard Duke, a Tory
poet, once well known, but now scarcely remembered except by Johnson's
biographical sketch, had used exactly the same illustration about James

"Was not of old the Jewish rabble's cry,
Hosannah first, and after crucify?"
