To the worthy & independent freemen of the city of York. Gentlemen, before you engage your Votes and Interest to Lord Gallway and his new Friend, be so good as to put the following plain Questions to his Lordship: Has your Lordship made a surer Bargain for your Ambassadorship to Munich than formerly? How soon does your Lordship mean to enter upon your Voyage to the Continent? Do you mean to leave the City of York unrepresented in that Event? Are you to divide your Interest at Pontefract with your Brother canvasser Is it in Gratitude to Mr. Milnes for not accepting the Offer of the Inhabitants of Pontetract against your Lordship's Burgage-Tenure Interest before the last Election, that you now take him by the Hand at York? As a Friend to a Reform in Parliament, Have you, in Pursuance of your repeated Declarations, given up your Burgage-Tenure Pretensions to Pontetract? Or will you again take the Opinion of another Committee of the House of Commons upon your pretended Right, in direct Contradiction to those Declarations? When does your Lordship mean to fix your Political Character and Principles? Does your Lordship apprehend that Mr. Milnes's studied Harangue for the prerogative of the Crown, and Secret Influence against the Privileges of the People and House of Commons, will recommend your Lordship and him to the Notice of the Independent Freemen of York? When his Lordship gives you satisfactory Answers to these plain Questions, you will do well to give his Lordship such Encouragement as you know his personal Merits and Character, and the Respect with which he treats his Constituents deserve. I am, Gentlemen, with great Truth, a friend to consistency.
