" out Law,and approve your Votes ? Think you the People will
" take your Crimes upon their flioulders,and endure the Younger
"Brother fitting upon the Throne of the whom
" you could not place there till you had trampled under foot
" the moft Sacred Duties with which Religion infpires us ? On
" the other fide, all the World will rife againft you, to take
" part with the Lawful Heir,- or if that fliould not come to
" pals, you will be laden with Curies, and looked upon as
" the Authors of a moft Execrable Affaffination: You will blufh
" for Ihame all your Lives, and live with perpetual torment
" in your breafts. Ham^eh-Mr^a alfo himfelf, for whom you
" have proftituted your Conlciences, will not he reward you
"for it one day? He will look upon you as Dogs that ad-
