Diplomatic TextCatalogue Entry

<316r>

The hand putting on the Crown represents Providence

The Motto may be
Favente Deo,
or
Favente Deo, gaudente populo.
or
Plaudentibus populis.
or
ob securitatem publicam
or
Fide publica
or
In auguratus above & only the date below.
Time may be taken to think of the best Motto before the Puncheons are finished.

For if from any regular series you subduct all the terms but the first or two or three first there will be produced a new series equall to the terms which were not subducted. So from the series 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + & subduct all the terms but the first & there will remain a new series equal to the first term vizt

11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 &c } = 1.
1213141516 &c
11,2 + 12,3 + 13,4 + 14,5 + 15,6 &c = 1.


Another Draft of this sortmight be a Woman present the King with a Governail, & the Woman might be either with a spear in her left hand to represent Great Britain or in a Veil to Represent Religion.

The following designe is also proposed. In allusion to the Kings Arms as Elector of Hannover, which is a pransing horse without bridle or sadle: A Pegasus flying with this Motto Altius negus, infinus nolo.

The Motto may be historical
suppose

Procerib. et pop. consent.
& below in the exercue

Or
Above, Coronat. et inunct. Oct.
& below, MDCCXIV.

Or any other of the Mottos
where the king is on the Reverse
or which can be thought of before
the Puncheons be finished

And if it be thought fit
to express the liberty of the people
gt Britain according to the setled constitution,
it may be done by drawing a
yoke under the foot of Bri-
tannia.
