Excerpt from Faction Detected, by the Evidence of Facts: Containing an Impartial View of Parties at Home, and Affairs Abroad

Thefe Evils of Faction in a Republican Form, prevented its Revival again in the fame Shape. - The People of England had (fince the Union of the two Houfes of Ybrk and Lancayler)' never feen it in another. - They therefore feared it in no other. This gave it Opportunity to thew itfelf in a new Form, and Oppofition became again a Faction in the Reign of the late King William, and a Faition of a much more dangerous Nature than the firft.

For whereas the Republicans, who are the Leaders of the firfi: Faction, are in this Country little more than Whigs overheated by Opprefiion, and an extravagant Abufe of Power as in rea lity there is very little of that Principle exii'ting among Men of Property andffortune, and as it is chieﬂy confined to Men of an inferior Olafs; they may be eafily brought to moderate their Views by what it is in the Power of every hohei't Government to apply But the Leaders of the fecond F action fet out with Expe�tations, that no Government, without being felo def}, can gratify. F or they fet out upon the View of changing the Prince upon the Throne, and in necefiary Confequence to transform the Confiitution and Religion of the Kingdom.
