WHEREAS, we having in our great Wisdom and Mercy, by and with the Advice of our Privy Council, resolved and determined to use all our Might, and Power to extirpate and destroy our natural Enemies the French, but being in great Want of

Powder and Pop Guns

by which we mean to accomplish and bring about Our above mentioned benevolent Purpose, We are "encouraged from the flourishing State of our Manufactures" to lay additional Burthens on our loving Subjects the GUINEA PIGS, and on the turbulent and disaffected SWINISH MULTITUDE; and thereby obliging both Clauses to contribute their MITE to support this Just and Necessary WAR; undertaken in defence of (our) Religion and Humanity, therefore Our mighty Will and Pleasure is, that our loving GUINEA PIGS shall aid and assist us to procure Pop Guns, and the Powder which has hitherto been wasted on the Briftles of the grunting Herd, shall with all due Speed and Diligence be applied by the first fair Wind to put their Eyes out; and the King's Enemies being thus Blinded, will in running Home, lose their way, and be souled Head and Ears in the Bogs of Flanders.
