Arrl uhmrver they fre rhtir Kings beset with Ministers of lawless principles (thofi wholesale mereliants of arbiv trary power) they grow miftruftfuf and uneasy, and are ap: in such cafe* to Ihut their purse; arid open their months. And give me leave to fav, Sir, that had not the people been made apprehensive and je.duus by feeing thofc men in favour, whofc mifehievous methods they were so well ac quain.cd with, and did so much abhor, had they not seen them without i shame and without controu! pouring the wealth of the nation into their own pockets; so far from murmuring, the people would have been well pleased; it ir.ltc.id of half a million your Ministers hid demanded two: provided they had conlultcd therein your honour more th in their omi gain ; and had thereby enabled von todifchars*e, not only your own dcVs compleatly, your father’s too, which inde-.d by every law of honour, hoticlly and*juft’te, are vour own, and ought to have taken place oft augmentation-Cffthc ch.tf jufttcelhtp in eyie, and all the other-numerous corrupt Sinecures and Pensions. ’ ‘ An Englilli King js the greatest monarch on earthj when he reigns in the liea/tsof h;s fuhjcAs; and all other methods to power and grcat-‘ts I have hitherto been.found, and l trull ilill will be found, ineffefluaj Bi England. I remember l once saw written over a Mercer’s ftiop, ‘ Keep tiiy shop,. and thy (hop will keep,thee and though it be a homely al* lufion, it is very apphcable to the present point—’ Keep your laws. Sir* V and your kiwi will k cp you.’ Support your peopiein their riglits liberties, and Queen Elizabeth fliall piss her royal word for them ; they will support yojir just prerogative home, and your honour abroad. Angi Sir, by the way, da not jut your fiat.terers give you a cheap opinion of q ; power derived.from the people, for it is undoubtedly from their consent alone, that all power mull come ; and though the free voice of the nj£ja, rity of the people may not at present be thought futficient to appoint their : own Reprdentativc, there was a time once wen it was found to be fufficiene to appoint a King. . Nor let this make you uneasy tnat your title to the Crown is alone from the fame free chpice of the majority of the people : Revere that sacred choice, and fjffer not your ministers by corruption ft) weaken ypur own claim in the person of another; for believe me neith|g any Princess, or Stuart, nor your ministers, nor al! the who have spoken, or written, oc doted on this fubjett, will ever be able to find you out a better. In the next place, difeimrge all Jacobites and mercenary trimmers from offices of trust and from confidence, remembering always the answer of our .warlike and wife Prince King-Henry the Fourth, who, upon a complain! from his people agaiaft fome of his ministers, replied, “ 1 know no evil by these meat but if they are thought by my people unfit for my service, iilhall not thjnk fit to coutinue them in it.” . .. But, Sir, Purgative, alone will not pcrfefl the cure of your government, :and restore it .to pijrfcd health ; you mull make use of Alterative, too; there must be & change of measure, as well as dilcharge of mep : And the method I would humbly offer is in general this,—that you would-be pleas. ed to follow this general rule, always to be aware of. such Ministers, and to avoid .such schemes and counsels .as are similar to those employed and adopted throughout the reign of every one of the Stuarts, and then you. can Iparcely err; for .whatever isoppofiteto their principles and pratkices, is thcKliretl, road to your security and fuepefs. But to be more particular, —First, make the interest of England your chief design and aim ; and fincc you are borii and bred amoagft us, and it is to be fnppofed glory in the name of Englilhman,. become an Englilh Kirsfe England i^ 1 a nation jealoys of rivals in her Prince’s favour, and thinks herfclf defer.v*) ing of his carp and his cardies. ‘ If the people of. England think you have a favourable opinion of them, they will deserve it; if not, they may per haps at la ft be driven to deserve your worst opinion too. This huuiuur of the nation Queen Elizabeth found early, and applied herfelf so hap pily to it; a! by this Tingle point to mailer all her difficulties (the greatest it may bethi* averTrince had to flrugglc with); whereas her fucccffiys, the Stuarts, by.contrary mcafurcs,.brought themfclvcs into very unJor* tunate In the oexr place. Sir. k’ me deiire you to avoid concerning yourfetf in eleflion? of Members of Parliament, of influencing them when fen. The Parliament a facrcd part of the Engaffi conftuution v like the Ifraditcs ark of old, is not to be but With treat thpfe who touch; and therefore, Sir it: will be.y W frue interest glaive the people free to their cho.cc, and the disturbed in *heir Teats, and .free, to their opinions when chofrn.
