LUCRET.
The impious Man who sells COUNTRY’s FREEDOM,
Makes all the Guilt of Tyranny his own. -------

MARTYN’s TIMOLEON.
Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them, will soon repent it.---Such feats of Errantry may do perhaps in asia:---But in countries where the People are FREE, it is Madness to rule them against their Wills.---They will know that Government is appointed for their Sakes, and will be saucy enough to expect some Regards and some Good from their own DELEGATES.---Those Nations who are govern’d in Spite of themselves, and in a Manner that bids Defiance to their Opinions, their Interests, and their Understanding, -----are either SLAVES, or will soon cease to be SUBJECTS.
