An Enquiry into the true Reasons for a Faction Rope

The author argues against a Craftsman passage by dissecting why a faction allied to weaken government is likened to a rope of sand. He asserts conviction that pursuing public good is the cement binding factions, but shows factions lack unity due to diverse principles. He analyzes leaders, personal judgment, and the clash of Jacobite, Whig, and Republican elements within a confederacy aiming to undermine the state.
