To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

So that I am somewhat at a loss, with regard to the train of arguments which I had formed, and which I will now endeavour to recover. Yet I can- not but remark, that those gentlemen who are so solicit- ous for order in others, ought, themselves, invariably to observe it ; and that if I have once given an unhappy pre- cedent of violating the rules of this house, I have, in some measure, atoned for my inadvertence, by a patient atten- tion to reproof, and a ready submission to authority.
I hope,
...sir, I may claim some indulgence from the mo- tive of my offence, which was only a desire of accuracy, and an apprehension that I might, by mistaking or forget- ting some passages in the petition, lose my own time, and interrupt the proceedings of the house to no purpose.
But having now, according to order, heard the petition, and found no reason to alter my opinion, I shall endeavour to convince the house that it ought not to be granted.
The petition, sir, is so far from bearing any particular relation to the clause now before us, that it does not, in any part, mention the expedient proposed in it, but con- tains a general declaration of discontent, suspicion, appre- hensions of dangerous proceedings, and dislike of our pro- ceedings ; insinuations, sir, by no means consistent with the reverence due to this assembly, and which the nature of civil government requires always to be paid to the le- gislative power.
