      us know who have been , and who are , the friends of truth . A knowledge of this kind would be to us , the spear of lthuriel , and enable us to distinguish friends and foes .

      With the same view , Sir , I think it desirable to obtain , if possible , a list of such as in the preceding year , 1771 > joined in the petition for . relief from subscription , and presented that petition to the House of Commons .
