acciirJiiig to Burnet, a ikill ; though he poiTefTcd great 

 kiioivlfdgc of nifii and things, he frequently changed fides as 

 his iiiterdl direetcd ; and Lauderdale was a man of learning, 

 and from having been almoll a republican, was become a 

 tool of the prerogative, and difpofed to concur in the moll 

 defpenite councils ; with fcarcely any traces of religion re- 

 maining, though he called hiniftif a pre'lhyterian, and mani- 

 fdled to the laft an averfion to king Charles I. Thcfe 

 were the men to whom Charles entrufted the conduft of his 

 affairs ; and who plunged the remaining part of his reign 

 into diffieulties, which almoll proved fatal to his govern- 

 ment. By their counfel and concurrence the king and duke 

 of York were encouraged in their deCgus of introducing 

 popery and arbitrary power ; in order to which, a fecret 

 treaty was concluded with France ; the triple alliance was 

 broken ; and a new war declared with the Dutch for de- 

 firoying their common-wealth ; and by this means the king 

 had a planfible pretence for keeping up a flanding army, 

 which might ferve to fecure him in the exercife of an ahfo- 

 lute authority over his fubjeiis, to fet alide the ufe of par- 

 liaments, and to fettle the Roman catholic religion in the 

 tliree kingdoms. At length, however, parliament inter- 

 pofed, A.D. 1674. Chfford, indeed, was dead; Shaftf- 

 bury had made his peace with the country party, and Buck- 

 irgham was defirous of imitating his example ; and Lauder- 

 dale and Arlington were expofedto all the effecls of national 

 refentm.ent. Articles of impeachment were drawn up againfl 

 the latter, which, however, were never profecuted ; and the 

 former declined daily in the favour of the king, and became 

 contemptible to the people. Thus ended the power of a 

 junto, that feemed to have formed a plan for overturning 

 the conflitution, and elhblifliing upon its ruins unlimited 

 monarchy.
