A Period of Alarm Over A Exodic Enemies Subversion
To the Printer of the London Evening Pott Lies a period of near 306 years there has not been any event which so alarmed us and the rest of our fraternity as the late attempt to abolish the subscription oath and reform the liturgy of the Church of England. We employed all engines to overturn their project and defeat their intentions. We inspired Madan Roe Feplady and Ragdolph with zeal though they overacted and were despised by enemies. The principal champion in our favour was a gentleman from whom we expected a swift part to wit Dean Tucker. We never had intimacy with him as he seemed shy of our acquaintance but we consider him the best advocate we had.
