"Reader thou hast here the beginning and end of a discourse concerning government; what fate has otherwise disposed of the papers that should have filled up the middle and were more than all the rest it is not worth while to tell thee. These which remain I hope are sufficient to establish the throne of our great restorer our present King William; to make good his title in the consent of the people which being the only one of all lawful governments he has more fully and clearly than any prince in Christendom; and to justify to the world the people of England whose love of their just and natural rights with their resolution to preserve them saved the nation when it was on the very brink of slavery and ruin."
