Plea and satire on Episcopal government in a letter
Printer's postscript reports a letter to Dr Ibbetson arguing against subscription and defending Gospel liberty. The writer opposes hierarchical control and urges believers to declare opposition to tests and human formalities, while praising the recipient but calling for broader critique of church authority. The piece contrasts with De Laune's Plea and links to broader religious and political tensions.

London Chronicle on Irish Parliament and City Independence
In London the Privy Council purge of Lord Westmeath sparks kinship tensions with Lord Clare as rumors swirl of an Irish Earldom. Debate rages on pensions, corruption, and the Irish Parliament’s role in revenue acts. Speculation abounds on Duart, Dyfart, and Dunbarton figures, while London reformers fault the City’s leadership and the Wilkes faction. President Mansfield and Beckford are cited in critiques of urban autonomy versus centralized rule. A Jew named Sylva is rumored to attend Lord Mayor elections, though public violence looms as a danger to such proclamations.
