11 Feb 1734:11 (15)
He only justly holds a government, 
That rules the people by their own consent.
That takes the measures of his rule from law,
And makes the virtuous keep the vile in awe,
By their own power the people's safety seeks,
And bowes himself to all the laws he makes:
Content with power, that power with peace imploys
And what he should protect he ne'er destroys. [signed]  Jure
Divino.
