Johnson and pensioners in political controversy
The writer questions precise meanings of faith, free will, and patriots and attacks Johnson as a pensioner. He defines pension as a gratuity at the Prince’s pleasure for services and critiques Johnson’s Liberty writings. He suggests Johnson as a royal bounty recipient and mockingly cites excise as paid to hired wretches.
