A fecond Criticifm upon a Book lately To the AUTHOR of the LONDON SIR, Y prince and his race, unless by his abdication or defertion the government fhould be thrown into the hands of the people; and I found this laft opinion upon the words of the refolution, both of the lords and A commons affembled in the conven OUR inferting my laft letter, occafions my giving you the trouble of this; and if you have found, that it was agreeable to your readers, I hope, this like- B wife will find a place in collecyour tion; because I think it is of the utmost confequence, to have the principles of the revolution, and our prefent happy establishment, rightly understood. With the author of these letters, IC efteem monarchy above any other form of government, and hereditary monarchy above elective: With him I think, that kings have a divine right to govern well, and conformably to the confiitution at the head of which they are placed; but that a divine right to govern ill is an abfurdity, and that to affert it is blafphemy. And with him I think, as I faid in my laft, that by the principles of the revolution, a fubject may refit the prince who endeavours to ruin and enflave his people; but I do not think, that by thofe principles, a fubject can push that refiftance to the dethronement and exclufion of that June, 1749. E tion, which are as follow: Refolved, "That king James II. having endeavoured to fubvert the constitution of the kingdom, by breaking the original contract between king and people, and by the advice of Jefuits, and other wicked perfons, having violated the fundamental laws, and withdrawn himself out of the kingdom, bad abdicated the kingdom, and that the throne is thereby become vacant." From those words it is plain, that if king James had not abdicated, the nation would not at that time have thought, that it had a right to declare the throne vacant. As he had fhewn himself to be not only a papift but a mad bigotted one, they might have thought him unfit to govern, and might have declared the prince of Orange regent or protector of the kingdom, during the life of that prince; but this, I believe, would have been the utmot length, the free parliament, which he had called, would have gone, had he had the courage to have ftaid amongst us, or even had he appointed a regency, and declared, that being induced thereto by the fate Iiz of |
