John Hsmreen made what the courtiets called "a
Miserable stir about twenty paItry shiungs OF ship

We have amused ourselves by thinking how ex'
cee6irgy unfortunate it is that certain OF our edi-

could have had the benefit Of their advice, H.mp-

have been put into the pillory. We cso easily
insgre the style Of editorials wherewlth they
would have .oaced Whitehall, and with how much
satsfac' ION their productions would have been re-
ceiyed in the Star Chamber. Thus, if we may
fancy Journal Of Commercial Christianity printed
in London at that time, we can imagine that it
would have held forth in the following msaner:

Or another newspaper, if then printed, might
have said
"Tbe Hampton people continue to direct their
fire upon the Court Of Exchequer, and especially
upon Finch, Chief Justice, and are demonstrating

-Somtthing after this fashion, no doubt did the
toades of the time pratte, but with wha. efec. We
msy deduce from the fact that upon the morning of
certain 30th Of January royal parsonage
