Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Warning to the Whigs and to the Well-Affected Tories Can you have the Folly to see it daily exposed in daring, dirty Libels, to the furious Hate and Aversion of the Vulgar? Have you any other Choice, but Hanover, or the Pretender? Have you any other Resource but Hanover against the Pretender? What is the first, what is the sure Way of overturning any Settlement, but to make it pass for odious and contemptible; to exercise Invectives and Slander previous to Force? Other Princes have been freely treated, and boldly opposed, for governing without Parliaments, and against Law. The present King, and his Father, always ruled by Parliaments, and never violated one Law; so far were they from dispensing with all. Our Kings are not to be the less reverenced and obeyed, because they came from Hanover. We ourselves chose them from thence; and it always was, and always must be, the Interest of England, to secure Hanover against the Designs of France. This is the Persuasion of every true Englishman; as it is, I dare say, of every true Frenchman; and this is the Sense of Parliament. What other Opinion, what other Authority is an Englishman to follow, but that of an English Parliament? Would not any Man who carries about him any Sense of his own, rather regard the Judgment of the Legislature, than of a Pamphlet, or a News-Paper, generally written by mean or angry Men, for mean and selfish Considerations? Would it not be Infatuation in any Man, who has Property, and regards its Security, sooner to trust to the Guidance of a partial, passionate Journal, perhaps written by a Man who has no Property at all, than to the deliberate Decisions of King, Lords and Commons, the Three States of the Realm, themselves possessed of infinite Property, and deeply concerned in all the Consequences of their own Measures?
