To the Cocoa-Tree rebutting Tory obedience in Jan 1763
Numb XXXII mounts a polemic against Tory principles, attacking passive obedience and the prerogative of the crown. It cites Oxford University’s 1683 decree, condemning royal servility, and recalls the 1710 Lords action as part of a broader critique of rebellion against constitutional liberty. The piece frames current loyalty as a betrayal of liberty and warns of dangerous consequences.
