Proclamation on liberty and public virtue in politics
A letter by A. Lover argues for early vigorous opposition to royal usurpations to preserve liberty and the constitution. The author cites Hampden and ship money as examples, urges nobles to resist corruption, and warns that delayed opposition leads to tyranny and slavery. The piece advocates virtue over greed and the need for steadfast public duty.
