Of their Joyning-With Traytors in Raising and Propagating Treasonable Rumours to Terrify and Discourage the People with Apprehensions of the Enemies to the Government. V. Of their Improving those Rumours, to make a Run upon the Bank, and Ruin publick Credit. VI. Of the dangerous Consequences of their Practises to the Government, and the Necessity there is to Regulate or Suppress them: To which is added, Some Characters of the most Eminent Persons concern'd now, and for some Years past, in Carrying on this Pernicious Trade.
