   While you are all in this Hurry, and if no Stop can be put to it, Destruction must follow; if a whole Nation will ruin themselves, who can prevent it: But is there no brave Fellow among you all now, to make a Stand for his Country? None that dare look behind them, and face this frightful Image of a falling Stock? Where are all the Millions that have been of late so lavishly subscrib'd to every Fubble!
