Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Caution to the Liverymen of London Against the General Election: Being a Sermon on Drunkenness; Shewing It Both a Sin and Folly, to Which Is Prefixed, an Address to the Livery, and Another to the Candidates He shall have my Vote, I promise you; aye, if I had a thousand. O, he is a fine Man. I never ate better Turtle and Chine in my Life. Excellent old Port, Ned. He is certainly a man of Understanding. Who doubts it? When he speaks, it is always to the Purpose. Commendable indeed! So did Balaam´s Ass - Once - Who would be a successful Candidate, - if we were to judge - you know what I mean - provided the Master would give a Treat. Why - I think you are right. Eloquence, however, is not a necessary Qualification. True. After your patriotic Squires have harangued for four and twenty Hours - What then? A Yea, or Nay, is to decide the Affair, and he that can nicely distinguish the Difference, is the wisest of all. The Man, who cannot speak, will not misrepresent us. Pray Gentlemen be sober; shew yourselves wife, redeeming the Time, because the Days are Evil. Follow Jethro´s Advice to Moses. Choose ye out able Men, such as fear God, Men of Truth, hating Covetousness - Gifts and Rewards will biass and corrupt the Integrity and Impartiality of the necessitous Candidate. The public Welfare and the Dignity of the Sovereign will be sacrificed to his private advantage. He means not to serve you, but himself - The wicked Man, however eminent his Abilities, should not be permitted the Power of doing Hurt. He cannot heartily concur in framing Laws of Reformation, who will be the Object of their Censure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
