Indeed, judging by the usual but fallacious standard of my own weakness, I began to be very uneasy for the situation of the preacher.

Seite 151 - British rulers to injure them. Indeed, the ruinous and deadly injuries received on our side, and the jealousies entertained, and which, in the nature of things, must daily increase against us, on the other demonstrate to a mind in the least given to reflection upon the rise and fall of empires, that true reconcilement never can exist between Great Britain and America, the latter being in subjection to the former.
