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.

_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
