hing in the Truth, which always will prevail. I take the Allegory of this Dissertation to be partly Historical, partly Prophetical; the D--n seeming to have carried his View, not only to the present, but even, succeeding Times. He sets his Hero down at last in Peace, Plenty, and a happy Retirement, not unrelented by his Prince; his Honesty apparent, his Enemies baffled and confounded, and his Measures made the Standard of good Government; and a Pattern for all just Ministers to follow. Thus, gentle Reader, have I, at the Expence of these poor Brains, crack'd this thick Shell, and given thee the Kernel. If any should object, and say this Exposition is a Contradiction to the D--n's Principles; I assure such Objector, that the D--n is an errant _Whig_ by Education, and Choice: He may indeed cajole the _Tories_ with a Belief that he is of their Party; but it is all a Joke, he is a _Whig_, and I know him to be so; Nay more, I can prove it, and defy him to contradict me; did he not just after his Arrival and Promotion in _Ireland_, writing to one of his intimate Friends in _London_, conclude his Letter in this Manner? _Thus Dear **** from all that has occur'd, you must conclude me a _Tory_ in every Thing, but my Principle, which is yet as unmoved, as, that I am,_ Yours, _&c._ This Letter, his Tale of a Tub, and in a Word, all his Invectives against Enthusiasm and Priestcraft, plainly prove him to be no _Tory_; and if his Intimacy, not only with Sir **** himself, but most of the prime Men in the Ministry, cannot prove him a _Whig_, I have no more to say. _FINIS._ [Decoration] _Advertisement to the _Curious_._ The Author is Night and Day at Work (in order to get published before the _Spaniards_ have raised the Siege of _Gibraltar_) a Treatise, entituled, _Truth brought to light, _or_ D--n _S----t_'s _Wilsden_ Prophecy unfolded_; being a full Explanation of a Prophetical Poem, called _Namby Pamby_, which, by most People, is taken for a Banter on an eminent Poet, now in _Ireland_; when in Fact, it is a true Narrative of the Siege of _Gibraltar_, the Defeat of the _Spaniards_, and Success of the _British_ Arms. The Author doubts not in this Attempt to give manifest Proof of his Abilities, and make it apparent to all Mankind, that he can see as clearly through a Milstone, as any other Person can through the best Optic _Martial_ or _Scarlet_ ever made; and that there is more in many Thing
