have unhappily given way to any indiſcreet Tranſports in this lively Effuſion of my Heart, I humbly entreat you to excuſe it, in Conſideration of the tender Love of a true Patriot, and of the ardent and lawful Zeal of one, who wiſhes no greater Happineſs to himſelf than that of ſeeing you all happy.
I am, with the profoundeſt Reſpect, Magnificent, moſt Honoured and Sovereign Lords,
Your moſt humble, and
moſt obedient Servant
and Fellow-Citizen,
John James Rousseau.
