I (hall endeavour to remove the falfe terrors which this writer would hold out in order to intimidate you from the de- fence of your liberties and thofe of pofterity, that he and his fimilars may wallow in fmecures and benefices heaped up from the fruits of your labour and induftry. Great Britain has, I believe, of infantry at home, comprehending Ireland, and ex- clufive of the guards, fifteen thoufand men. They find the greatefl difficulty in keeping the regiments up to any thing near their ef...tablifhment : what they are able to procure are of the word fort. They are compofed of the mod debauched weavers, apprentices, the fcum of the Irim Roman Catho- lics, who defert upon every occafion, and a feW Scotch, who are not ftrong enough to carry packs. This is no exaggeration ; thofe who have been lately at Boflon, reprefent the foldiers there (one or two regiments excepted) as very defective hi fize, and apparently in ftrength. But we (hall be told they are ilill regulars, and regulars have an irre- fiftible advantage.
