From the London Public Advertiser. . . [58 lines about the
power of Kings]
On the other hand, during the reign of the immortal King
William, and in those of George the First and Second, we
heard no trumpet, neither in Zion nor any where else, sound
forth those illegal, unconstitutional, tyrannical, and
detestable maxims of government, by their direction or
connivance. We were told by those who were at the helm, and
we experienced the truth of their declarations; that those
Kings made the laws of the land the rule of their
government, and that they would never either recur to, or
plead their prerogative in defence of their measures.
. . . [1 line. 77 lines, 76 lines, 30 lines, about the use
and abuse of the power of Kings]
I am your constant reader, William Temple. March 27, 1764.
