Note 741 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Parl. Hist. 1024, 1035; State Trials, vii. 1; Kennet, 327, 337, 351; North's Examen, 129, 177; Ralph, 386; Burnet, i. 555. Scroggs tried Coleman with much rudeness and partiality; but his summing up in reference to the famous passage in the letters is not deficient in acuteness. In fact, this not only convicted Coleman, but raised a general conviction of the truth of a plot—and a plot there was, though not Oates's.
