cliuse for such Men in JVev)-Yark as they shall be directed fo cliuse to serve upon the Assembly, the vwst suhtle Men to Imve t grant of some Lands, an office with a large Sallary, as several of the Assembly Men liave, they must comply to the Governor^ Proposals^ and make Resolves to allow tlie Governor 1710 /. per Annum Ibr five Years, the C.'dtf Justice 300 /. fer Annwn^ for the same time, tlie Ccmmissioners of the Indian Afctirs at Jlllmiy 300 /. fer /him/m, for the same time, and some others of the Assembly Sums too tedious here to relate.

So t'lat some for tlielr hit er est and otliers for Fear dare not oppose any thing proposed, but comply with wliatsoever is f<-r the Governor's and some cunning Mens Advantages : And how can tiie incjor Part cf tlie Assembly make known t!ie Aggrievances of t'.ie People, when they are drawn and deter'd from speaking. And if the major Eart and Speaker of the Assembly should be about to send to the Agent, if the Governor should not like it, he could dlssdve the Assembly at Jiis Pleasure, and so prevent th.em of senditig. So it must be what he pleaseth ; and if Demetrius and the Craftsmen of the same Occupation made such an Uproar about Pfl?^/'5Prcac]iing the Gospel at Ephesus, because it took away their Gain and Wealth, w^hat Stir do you tliink these Men will make, if any should endeavour to break t'le Schemes they have laid, whereby they get their Wealth, and wholly subject the People to tlieir Pleasure ? But if the Governor be infallible, and the People under his Government both Persons and Estates at liis Pleasure, then it is in vain to dispond or complain ; but if the People have Property, and the Government ouglit to be carried on for His Majesties Benefit, and Good cf tlie Subjects, then such Measures as these ought to be took into Consideration and what is amiss to be rectified.
