Note 66 — Chapter XLIV · GOVERNMENT OF ORMONDE, 1665-1668
Reading edition
Clarendon’s Life, Cont., pp. 967, 969. Christie’s Life of Shaftesbury, chap. x. In his monograph, 1888, the late H. D. Traill thought Butler’s lighter lash more suitable to Shaftesbury’s tergiversations than ‘the resounding scourge of Dryden,’ but his conduct about the Cattle Bill and the Irish branch of the Popish Plot justify the heavier implement. Arlington to Ormonde, October 20 and November 20, 1666, Miscellanea Aulica, p. 427 sqq.
