Change: 1663

And so his ministry came to an end, after a sort of a reign of much violence and injustice: for he was become very imperious. He and his company were delivered up to so much excess, and to such a madness of frolic and intemperance, that as Scotland had never seen any thing like it, so upon this disgrace there was a general joy over the kingdom: though that lasted not long; for those that came after him grew worse than ever he was like to be.
--From History of his own Times--

People often say they want change, believing things can't get any worse; but that belief is really just a hope, one that isn't always fulfilled.
