An Appeal Against Tyranny and Resignation Advice
A long 17th century polemic argues against James VI and I, praising William III and Marlborough. It condemns royal prerogative, praises ministers like Godolphin and Pelham, and urges Lord North to resign, warning of war and urging reform to restore liberty and balance between crown and people. The author lauds past rulers and scolds present policy, calling for immediate ministerial replacement and self-effacing conduct.
