The passage critiques a public call to recount or purge Scots from posts, cites Archibishop Sporswoop’s fictitious advice to King Cuartes I in 1639, and defends the late minister amid Briton’s attacks. It recalls Martinique and West Indies conquests, praises Pitt’s policy, and urges national resolve against despair and accommodation.
