April 4. [17 lines, speculations about upcoming
parliamentary session and opinions about the popularity and
morality of John Wilkes.] "Dr. W-rb-rt-n, the learned bishop

offence to his ------- it was aimed at the M-------rs, whom
he accused of being the authors of all the sedition and
tumults in the Kingdom. Some say the K--- rose up to go out,
but was prevented by the ---------- who sat by him--the
papers will tell you of his being repeatedly insulted by the
mob, at the playhouse, &c."
