The INTRODUCTION.

THE Design of these Sheets (which one would think should be no difficult Task), is to persuade People to act for the Good and Prosperity of the Community they are Members of, and in which their own is included; and to convince them, That it is their Duty as well as Interest, to bear True Faith and Allegiance to the present Government. Which Design, that I may the better perform, it will be necessary to premise somewhat about Government in general, and the Grounds and Measures of Obedience to it; by which I hope I shall be able to shew, What is the Duty of Subjects, not only in the present Juncture of Affairs, but in all Changes and Revolutions.
