And also an estimate of the proportion of the lands of the nation, formerly possess'd by the Church of Rome, and which wou'd be again in their hands, shou'd popery return. To which is premis'd some account of popish principles; shewing that they necessarily lead to all this barbarity; and particularly, that if ever a popish prince usurp the British throne, he is bound by all that is sacred to extirpate and destroy is Protestant subjects, upon pain of damnation. Design'd as a caveat against the pretender. All that's dear to us, must be irrecoverably lost, if ever the designs of a popish pretender, bred up in the principles of the most arbitrary government, shou'd take place. Queen Anne's speech to the Parliament, April 1st, 1708.
