Extract

Gentlemen, BEFORE you retire from the Court to proceed to your Business, I must request you will permit me to call your Attention to some Measures of great Importance to us all, in which the Tranquillity and Hap-[6]piness of the Country are most materially concerned, and which it is your particular Province at this Time, as the Grand Jury for this great and populous County, to enquire in to and present.

His Majesty has found it necessary to issue a second Proclamation, in which it is set forth, that the utmost Industry is still employed by evil-disposed Persons within this Kingdom, acting in concert with Persons in Foreign Parts, with a View to subvert the Laws and established Constitution of this Realm, and de-[B 2–7] stray all Order and Government therein; and that a Spirit of Tumult and Disorder, thereby excited, has lately shewn itself in Acts of Riots and Insurrection.
