we all are to bow. We UNDERSIGNED there
are but two persons in the country vino
are considered competent to the great Of
hce-nanieiy, JoSIAH and FRANcIS. The
TRENDS OF Francis declare that he ought to
be King, because he has kingiy name, and
because he had the bolduess, in the first in
stance, to propose monarchy. They fur
thernnre advert to the services he has late
~ rendered his country in Worcester, and
declare if he is chosen, <" Heapen, Earth

he slew huge Giant. Fe, Fo.o, Fl, Fun,
but that he tainted under the Apprehension
ot smelling the blood If some EnrEshnnau ;
so dearly does he love them 1t is further
declared, that every naUat officer in the "
