     […] the Preacher (tho’ a celebrated Divine of our Church, whose Principles are entirely Monarchical) has freely asserted several Hobbish Notions, and told us, that Democracy is of equal esteem with Monarchy, that Succession is a Jest, that all Forms of Government are in their own Nature mutable, and may be altered, or quite rescinded, as the Power in beginning shall think fit.
