When I reflect on our constitution, I seem as it were to contemplate a game at chess, a recreation in which we both delight; For we have a king, whose dignity we strenuously defend, but whose power is very limited; the knights, and rooks, and other pieces, have some kind of resemblance to the orders of nobility, who are employed in war, and in the management of public affairs; but the principal strength is in the pawns or people; if these are firmly united they are sure of victory, but if divided and separated, the battle is lost.

This Country, or the Inhabitants of it are become a disgrace to civil Society. Would to God! the Government of it was in such hands, as would risk any thing rather than permit the Mob to lord it over Us in this Manner.

When they have kicked both Houses of Parliament down Stairs, which we shall live to see happen, I suppose some Government will again be established in this Land.
