The following speech being spoke off hand upon the debates in the House of Commons; : you cannot expect in it the exactness of Roman eloquence; but you have the freedom, and bravery of the old Roman, and true English spirit, zealous for the good of their country, and bold in all its dangers. And if other corporations and shires would take the like care as B-----l, they might be as happy in the choice of their representatives; and then, ... may we hope to see poor England become old England again, ... glorious and renowned abroad. Towards which, this worthy patriot has set a noble example; and that it may inspire and incourage others, and prompt, and enable the country to distinguish such from pensioners, and wretched betrayers of their country and posterity, is the design of making this publick, from a copy which I procured from a member of the House of Commons, who took it in short hand, as it was spoke
