I will not accept that condition, nor did I ever see so unfair a one offered.
No.55._June_ 29, 1716 .-- _Conclusion_.
_Addison_.

The enemies of His present Majesty ...

find him in a condition to visit his dominions in Germany, without any danger to himself, or to the public; whilst his dutiful subjects would be in no ordinary concern upon this occasion, had they not the consolation to find themselves left under the protection of a prince who makes it his ambition to copy out his Royal Father's example .-- _Swift_ Then, why was he never trusted a second time?
_Addison_.

It would indeed have been an unpardonable insolence for a fellow-subject to treat in a vindictive and cruel style, those persons whom His Majesty has endeavoured to reduce to obedience by gentle methods, which he has declared from the throne to be most agreeable to his inclinations .-- _Swift_.

And is that enough?
_Addison_.
