People would never envy the'Pomp
and fplendor 0/ great nefs, if they did
but confiyer either the Cares and Da:;-
gers that go along with it, or the Blelf-
ings of Peace and iccurity in a middle

prepared for the worit that can bef;
][ Men, may be brib'd into an ihtereft
oppofite Co that of the pubiick; but it is
as certain that a whole Conntry can ne-
ver find an equivalent for itfelf, and con-
fcquently a whole Country can never be
bribed. It is the eternal Intereft of every
Nation, that their Government fhou'd
be good j but they who direct it frequent-
ly Reafon a contrary way, and find their
own account in plunder and Gpprefiion-,
and while the public voice is pretended
to be declare d, by one or a few, for vile
and private e ids, the Pubiick knows
nothing of what is done, till they fell the
terrible Effects of it.
By the bill of Rights, and the aft of
Seticment at the Revolution, a right is
afferted to the people of applying to the
King and to the Parliament, by Petition
and addfefs, for a redrefs of public
Grievances and Mifmanagements, tynsh
luch there arc, of which they are left to
judge ; and the difference between free
and enfiaved Countries lies principally
here, that in the Former, thefe Magi-
ftrates mull confult the voice and Intereft
cf the people ; but in the latter, the pri-
vate Will, Intereftand P leafure of the
Governors, are the foleend and Motives
of their Admiitration.
Such is th; Difference between Eng-
land and Turkey ; which difference they
who fay that Private Men have no right
to concern themfelves with Government,
would abfolntely deftroy; they woud
Convert Magi fixates into Balhaws, and
Introduce Popery into politicks. The
