Note 192 — Chapter XV · ON THE REIGN OF WILLIAM III.

Reading edition

The protestants were treated with neglect and jealousy, whatever might have been their loyalty, at the court of James, as they were afterwards as that of his son. The incorrigibility of this Stuart family is very remarkable. Kennet, pp. 638 and 738, enumerates many instances. Sir James Montgomery, the Earl of Middleton, and others, were shunned at the court of St. Germain as guilty of this sole crime of heresy, unless we add that of wishing for legal securities.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
