this? Who would not resist event to Blood
in such a Case? Methinks not a Man
that has a rational Soul; or a spark of Hu-
manity, or Benevolence remaining in his
Breast. - That Soul must be degraded
& sunk beneath all Love to Mankind that
can espouse {the} Cause of Tyranny, and engage
on {the} Side of Despotism; {that} can take part
with those {that} would enslave {their} Country, &
join in Confederacy with Relish Sons. O my
Soul come not thou into {their} Secret, for {they}
are to be abhorred in {the} Sight of all Men,
mine Honor be not thou united to {them}, for
in {their} self will {they} would enslave {their} Country,
& in {their} wrath deprive {the} People of {their}
just Rights & Liberties: Wherefore cursed be
{their} Anger for it is fierce; & {their} Wrath, for
it is cruel. - May {the} Wheel be brought
over all such, and {they} be divided in {their}
Counsels, and scattered in all {their} Evil Pro-
jections, be confounded, & broken to Pieces.
We have a most Valuable Interest in
this Land to defend; our Privileges are
truly great, {they} are well worth fighting
for, if {they} cant be retained without. And
as our Privileges are now Attacked, and
invaded by a despotick Administration of
{the} British Parliament, so {the} People are
justly alarmed, and it becomes us all to
play {the} Men, to unite in {the} Common Cause,
to be couragious, & valiant for {the} Defence
of the People, & for {the} Cities, [children?], of our God.
