Neck for nothing or, A satyr upon two great little men now in the ministry. [electronic resource] : Who (as 'tis generally thought) have been the sole occasion why the author of Neck or nothing has gone five years unrewarded for his early, expensive, and successful hazards in detecting His Majesty's enemies in the worst of times. As 'twas sent in a letter to the Right Honourable James Graggs, Esq; one of His Majesty's principal secretaries of state. With some reflections upon his honour's answer to this letter, which was only this, i don't know Mr. Dunton. To which is added, Mordecai's dying groans from the fleet-prison: or, Mr. John Danton's humble appeal to His Majesty's royal honour, justice, gratitude, and the rest of his princely virtues, whether he deserves a royal bounty to pay his debts (as a reward for the frequent venture of his life and fortune of secure the protestant succession in the illustrious House of Hanover) or else to be starved in a jayl to gratify the revenge of a covetous Duke and his proud son-in-law, for his having satyriz'd their scandalous avarice and ingratitude in the new secret history of the Court Whiggs, intitled, The state weathercocks. The whole written by Mr. John Dunton, author of Neck or nothing, and will be presented to the king at his return to London, by Mr. Dunton himself, that his distinguish'd services to His Majesty's sacred person and government might be no longer conceald from the royal family, by those Whigg-favourites, who (tho' they know that Mordecai has ruin'd himself to save his country) han't yet inform'd the king that nothing is done for him. His Majesty's first speech from the throne. I will never forget the obligations I have to those that have distinguish'd themselves by their zeal and firmness to the Protestant succession, against all the open and secret practices that have been us'd to defeat it.
