' GENTLEMEN, +o—~HERE is no natural .or ‘political Body, but is fubjeét 1o the Variations and Injuries of Time. Both are compofed of Springs, Wheels and Ligaments, all in perpetual Motions, and all lisble to decay : and as the Parts are mortal, the whole anuflt be mortal. But as natural Bodies may conti- . noe their Exiftence, and preterve their Duration by Action, by the Addition of new Particles, ‘or by removing from Time to Time allObftrutions which clog their Motions, and check ghiéir Vigour as long as their Stamina is capable offubfifting; in like Manner, a political Machine may be preferved : and in many Refpects-a political Bady has the Advaatage of a natural onz, becaufe we can®look into it’s inmoft Contexture ; and when any of it’s conftituent Parts are decayed or worn out, fupply 1t with new ones. AndGentlemen,in a few Days it will lie with you wa giveMotion to the Machine: you are the firft Springs to give Life to all virtuous Relolutions ; and fuch .as you fhew yourlelves, fuch will your Reprefenta- tives be. You are born to Liberty, and its your Duty and Intereft to preferve it. The Conflitution you live under is & mixed Monarchy, your Gover- nors have every Right to prote€t and defend ycu, none to irjure or opprefs you. The Nature and Reafon of this Sort of Government is, to ‘make the feveral Parts of it controul and counterpoile one ano- ther, and [0 10 keep all within their proper Bounds. The Intereft of the Magiitracy is to prevent Confu- ‘.on, which levels sll Things. The Intereft of the Body of the People isto keep Power fromOppreflion, . and their Magiftrates from changing into Piunderers and Murderers. The Daty of- Reprefentatives is to prevent Ruin from either of thefe Extremes. And to preferve Liberty, all thefe co ordinate Powers muft be k:pt in their full Strength and Independence. Names will not defend you when the Thing figni- fied is gons. The Emperors of Rome were as ab- foliite with the Shew of 2 Senate, as without. The Kings of France have Parliaments, but Parliaments which dase not difpute their Roysl Plealure. To prevent your Magiftrates from claiming a divine Right to rule wrong, you ought to chufe Reprefen- tatives whoie Intereftsare the {ame with your own, and likely to continue the fame. And now Gen- tlemen, give me Leave to mark out what Sort of Men you ought not to chufe : And Firfi, reject with Indignation all that offer to buy your Votes, for they will fell you. Secomdly, Men of weak Uuderftand: ing, for they may fell your Liberties, and not know when, nor how. Third/y. Men of timorous, fesr- ful Spirits, with good Principles, but dare not «& ac- cordingly, for they msy give up your all thro’ Fear. Fourthly. Men noted for Non Atcendance ; for in their Ablence all msy be loft. Fifibly. Men of ill Morals, debzuched, and dithoneft Lives; for they chat tske no Care of themfelves, will tale as lictie cf you, or yours. T'o conclude, confider Gentlemen, what you are sbou', whether youare bringing Life or Death, Li berty or Slavery on yourfelves,and us all : before the Choice, who fhall be Reprelentatives is in your * Power, alterwards the Scene will be fhifted, you and -us, and all that ought to be dear to us will be in their Power. Wherefore, chufe Men of Wildom and Integiity, who know Prerogstive from Privilege, and wil! not cndeavour to raob the Magiitrate of the former, nor give up one Hairs Breadth of the latter. Finally, chufe Men who will do all the Good, and prevent all the Evil in their Power. i You may believe me Gentlemen, your fincere and moft Affe&tionate, Humble Servant - PHILANTHROrHIA.
