Edmund Burke is considered the most influential orator in the British House of Commons in the 18th century.
His first notable writings was an anonymous publication A Vindication of Natural Society, 1756, which was a satirical criticism of the deism promoted by Lord Bolingbroke:
"... The same engines which were employed for the destruction of religion, might be employed with equal success for the subversion of government."
