THE Inhabitants of New-England had for many Years before the Late Happy Revolution, Enjoyed the Liberty and Property of as Free and Easy a Charter as a People could Desire; and this too, with as much Satisfaction and Loyalty on their part, as Malice and Envy on that of their Enemies; who, from a Persecuting Spirit, looking upon this their Charter with an evil Eye, took up an Implacable Resolution of Robbing them of it. They had no sooner Effected this, but a vast Scene of Misery appeared; and they found among the Principal Instruments of this Mischief, One, *whom their own Womb had brought forth, and whose Breasts had Nourished! But the Unhappy (or rather Happy) Reign of the Late K. J. running Precipitantly upon its own Ruin, made well for the Deliverance of New-England; without which, doubtless the People had fell a Sacrifice to French and Popish Slavery:
