And that I may acquit my self towards you as I ought, I shall as well as my Weakness will permit me, Copy after the Example of Our Great Master the King, who through the whole Course of His Administration, has shewd a tenderness of His people not to be equall'd, and a singular moderation even towards His most Inveterate Enemies; the first an effect of His Goodness, the latter of His Magnanimity and Clemency: which admirable qualities have gain'd Him the just Veneration of all mankind; and ought to possess our hearts that are here with the same Loyalty, Affection and Duty towards His Sacred Person, that our Fellow Subjects in England have manifested ever since His Majesties most Happy Accession to the Throne." This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
