in the Eoglifh nation as could not be quieted, until a
full enquiry took place, and the de inquent Offered tor
his cowardice ; that the determine ions of a Council cf
War could not creen him from the jut resentment of
an injured people, which gave inch a Ipring to govern
ment and vigour to their mealures, as totally changed
the face of affairs, and ended in a most glorious and
fnccefsful prosecution of the war It is not doubted
but a like clamour and vigour in Gungrefs would be
attended with firailar consequence».
