Stran 179 - My Friends : I wish you all happiness here and hereafter. These are to lett you know that it hath pleased God in his providence to cast you within my Lott and Care. It is a business, that though I never undertook before, yet God has given me an understanding of my duty, and an honest minde to doe it uprightly. I hope you will not be troubled at your change and the King's choice ; for you are now fixt, at the mercy of no Governor that comes to make his fortune great.
Stran 296 - But should Mr. Attorney go about to make this a libel, he would read it thus: " The leaders of the people (innuendo, the governor and council of New York) cause them (innuendo, the people of this province) to err, and they (the people of this province meaning) are destroyed (innuendo, are deceived into the loss of their liberty) which is the worst kind of destruction.
