Pleasure. Upon nonsense like this, argument
would be thrown away. But surely, if this country
is not irrecoverably fascinated by the charms of
war and taxation, as well as of wanton oppression
and injustice, such pretensions on the part of
it's servants has some claim to notice. Pope of
Denmark, master of dispensing power, Defender
not of Faith, but of the breach of it; such are the
titles which the head of the British Church has
been advised to arrogate, and of which British
blood and treasure are to be poured forth in the
defense.
As to his Swedish Majesty's being justified
in asking for a speedy and efficacious assistance
from Britain, it is well enough known,
that he is not a man to lose any thing for want
of asking, nor wail for justifications. The material
question is, whether his Britannic Majesty
means to gratify him in such a request? And
to this, one shall immediately see an answer in
the affirmative, in terms sufficiently explicit.
Text. Paragraph 4.
"From the principles of sincerity which I have
ever observed towards a court in alliance, and a friend
to Great Britain, I must assure you, Sir, that neither
the King of England, nor his allies, can give
up the system they have adopted, with the design
only of maintaining the Equal balance of the
north: (a)(a) balance no less necessary to Denmark,
than to all maritime and trading nations."
