But we want no King not Ministers under the name of Kings to sell us to foreign
powers, to throw away our money in buying
the useless and pernicious assistance of foreign
powers, to employ our power in insulting
weaker nations and dictating laws to them

with by necessities of their own creation
and load us with war-establishments in time
of peace, to join hands with one another and
with aristocracies in crushing liberty all on throughout
the globe, to hatch in the darkness of the
cabinet a perpetual plot against the tranquillity
