This is what the father of the Commentaries would
probably call a prohibition: at least so he
would call it in one place if he called it by an
opposite name in another.

TREASON.

The Republicans, which of the one & the other
(as are said to exist among us in a number which may 13 — 512 13 — 516
be counted, are regarded by the intelligent Lovers
of the constitution with the same eye of complacency & unconcern unanxious complacency,
as those pretty children, whose spirit we admire,

for their contingencies to alleviate by anticipation the horrors of civil
War, & to fix boundaries to which in such times of heavy precipitation they
would not have leisure to fix themselves Religious fanaticism creeps in the Mud of moorfield
as little dangerous as the vermin reptiles which have their habitation
in the sewer are to the foundation of a palace
The seeds of Revolution which throve & have a plentiful
crop in the Soil Waste of Barbarism Fanaticism & ignorance, are find
cast up no lodgment in a [Soil] already plentifully stored with that
wholesome Knowledge which is the infallible sovereign antidote
against [all] such poisons

The genuine Partizans of Divine right are no more to be
met with in England than in the deserts of Arabia, saving
some Roman-Catholics, & perhaps here and there [in some
corner of the Kingdom] an obscure Parish-Priest who has been taught to distrust the News-papers who happen'd to has added nothing
to the Stock of Polemics [that] descended to him from his
Grandfather.

chuse to find such in the Partizans of the Ministry for the
time being: I know also, that these last tha be even with
their adversaries regularly charge them with Republicanism:

TREASON.
