Emancipate Preface
3
5. It is inconsistent with the nature of many and contrary
to the uniform unvaried times of political experience, that by any
thing less than a sense of inevitable necessity, any sacrifice
of political power in any this or any other shape should
ever be made now by those who are in possession or by those
who are in expectancy of it.
6. In the ruling country, only among the subject many to
the exclusion of all in possession or in expectancy, look
to any share in the government if it can may endeavour
to dissolve the connection, doubly and universally mischievous
as it is. As with
on any rational grounds, looked hoped for or expected.
7. At the hands of the people of in the foreign dependency, endeavours
towards this end may be much more reason
with much stronger greater and ever reasonable assurance be looked for
than at the hands of the subject many in the ruling country.
