The Charter Debate Over Parliament's Authority in Boston
An evolved colonial letter contests Governor Hutchinson's view of Parliament's supremacy. It argues the charter intended colonial independence in lawmaking, likening governance to corporations. It cites Mass history, Randolph's accounts, and Magna Charta to claim no line divides Parliament’s power and colonial sovereignty.

European Balance and Freedom Amid Frede rick the Third Threat
In a port discourse the speaker denounces Frederick the Third's rise and argues for a European alliance to preserve the balance of power. He opposes France and Spain, supports a strong alliance with Britain, and asserts English resolve to defend the homeland against any foe. The piece references Lord North's ten year peace prophecy and critic Nassau's invective about foreign armies.
