" If (fays he) you are free, and resolve to be g " so—it have any regard to God's providence ' " in giving a claim to so excellent a conltitu " tion—if yoi( would not Void your own rights, " nor lay a toundition of vaffallage ta your unborn " followers, the poof posterity for whom God and " nature, and the conftitutien of the government head " ' iave ma^e y ou ft'ftecs—then feriaufly weigh the ( j l4 j " following particulars: " In your present clcftlon, receive no man's gift " or bribe to chufe him ; for be aflurcd, such will " be falfe to your country, yomfelf, and your'Chil " dren. How can you hope to fee God with peace, 11 that turn mercenaries ill a matter upon' which de- " pends the well-being of an whole kingdom, for men " present and future times ? since at a pineh one nCe ° " good maß gains 2 vote, and saves a kingdom : and >oms " w ' lat t ' oe " an y collnt y burgess towninoV/ but the j " t ' lat a " m, y depeijd upan their making a gpod :per. j " choice?
