during the people to subjection. A few years brought about another change. Shaftesbury, anticipating the fall of his party, betrayed the king and the court, as he had betrayed the Parliament and the Commonwealth. He arose in his place, in the House of Lords, and to the astonishment of all, vehemently opposed one of his colleagues in the Cabal, the Lord Treasurer Clifford, who had made an intemperate speech in opposition to some measure advocated by the country party, and levelled at the court, ...especially at the Duke of York. The king and the duke were both spectators of the debate. " What a knave of a chancellor have you there ?" said the latter as he left the House. "And you, brother/' answered the king, "what a fool of a treasurer have you given me. " From this period Shaftesbury sided with the popu- lar party, and in the language of Dryden : — " Usurped a patriot's all atoning name. " So vehement and dreaded was his opposition to the court that the king dismissed him from his office of chancellor.
