SIR J. MAYNARD.

If you permit me, at last, to break in at the opening which this

conclusion of your discourse seems to give me; I would say, That, on

your principles, the house of STUART had great reason for the high

notions you ascribe to them. For what other conclusion could they make,

but that a power, which had domineered for so long a time, and that

by the full allowance of parliament and people, was, both in fact and

right, absolute and uncontrolable?
