To Governor Johnstone, one of the British Commissioners on
his late letters and offers to bribe certain eminent
characters in America, and threatening afterwards to appeal
to the public.
  When Satan first from Heaven's bright region fell.
  And fix'd the gloomy monarchy of hell.
  Sin then was honest; pride led on the tribe:
  No devil received--no devil propos'd a bribe:
. . . [41 lines] [signed] Common Sense.
Philadelphia, July 27, 1778.
