How then (it will naturally be afked) could a people, thus happily fituated, be perfuaded to facrifice thefe advantages, and to hazard their Fortunes, their Lives, and their Souls, in a Vid. Rom. mi. ^" uc ^ ( i3 ) fuch a Rebellion ? To this Queftion a fatisfactoryanfwer may be expected, from one who refided in that country, during the time of the apparent rife, and gradual progrefs of this mif- chief, till it came to Maturity : And fuch an anfwer might indeed be given to the enquiry ; but my T...ime will not allow of that Detail, which is neceflary to put the matter in its pro- per Light, and to exhibit the chief Characters in their genuine colours. I mull: therefore content myfelf with the following Obfervations, viz. — That Many of the Colonifts were of Re- publican Principles, and had an hereditary difarTection to the EnglifTi conftitution : who wifhed for an opportunity, and en- deavoured to create one, of becoming independent on the parent Kingdom : — That thefe perfons were perfuaded to put themfelves under the Direction both of ambitious and needy Adventurers ; who, by railing a Storm, were in hopes of advancing their own In- terefts ; — the former, by getting command of the VefTel ; — the latter, by bearing plunder from the Wreck : — That the Divifions in This Country, about the Rights of Election, and other fubjects of Debate and Altercation -, the Triumph of Oppofition in fome cafes ; the ill-timed lenity of Government, in yielding to popular Clamours, inftanced in the Repeal of an Act which will long be remembered -, to- gether with the Aflurances given to the Malecontents by their Correfpondents here, of being able to afford them all proper fupport and necelTary afliflance ; — were thought to be favour- able Incidents, and encouraged the Leaders there to rifque the Experiment : — That ( u ) Th at, in order to engage the Americans in General to promote the defign, its Conductors pretended, That a regular Syftem was formed, " by a corrupt and abandoned Adminiftra- «• tion," for oppreffing and enflaving the colonies ; of which every exercife of authority over them, however expedient, or ufual, was alledged as a convincing Proof: that fuch Ads were Invafions of their Natural Rights — of their Chartered Privileges, — and even of that unalienable " Liberty wherewith Christ had made them free :" that every motive of Prudence, Policy, and Religion, required them to forego all Confidera- tions of prefent eafe and convenience, in a manful and timely AfTertion of thefe Eflential Rights, before the Chains that were forged mould be rivetted upon them : and laftly, in or- der to leffen the Horrors of the propofed enterprize, they af- firmed, and pretended to prove by accounts from hence, That but little Danger attended it ; as the Appearance of Firmnefs and Unanimity on Their part, would foon compell the Miniftry to recede from their claims, and to comply with every demand of the Colonies, rather than conteft the matter by Force, — for which they were not and could not be provided.
