IT is too opinion of our greatest political writer, Lotd
BolUngbruke, mat a King who usurps morepewer u:an
is intiufted to Inm by the Conanution of the kingdom
which he govern,,":® an Usurper-—ls so, then &Kingm:y .
be a trailer to bis pecpl, and ought to be fubjeft to thole
penalties to whiarthej are ob iged to submit when pro
nounc'd guflf, of treason: This is hard do&rine for a
courtier, a St^tUi^ah, and a Tory to swallow, but surely
it is very eqrtabi : For if millions must fuffcr for offend
ing one m^n, why fhou'd not one man be punched for
injuring millions? Your's, &c. CASSIUS.
