his Purse, as long as he sees the Publick Money well laid out
for the great Ends for which 'tis given. And to the Honour of the Queen
and her Ministers it may be justly said, That since _England_ was a
Nation, never was the publick Money more frugally managed, or more
fitly apply'd. This is a further Mortification to those _Gentlemen_, who
have _Designs_ in View which they dare not own: For whatever may be, the
_plausible_ and _specious_ Reasons they give in publick, when they
exclaim against the Ministry; the hidden and true one is, that thro the
present prudent Administration, their so hopefully-laid Project is in
Danger of being blown quite up; and they begin to despair that they
shall bring in King _James_ the Third by the Means of Queen _Anne_, as I
verily believe they once had the Vanity to imagine.
