Text or Note? § 8 J.B.'s Conclusion
Text in Note?
Without prejudice to their independency, the people when in
contest with their government — as every people will now be till
either democracy or democratic ascendency is established —
may and therefore should obtain if they can support in
all shapes from every the members of any and every foreign

number of their supporters is not so great as to overpower them.
Thus it was that without the prejudice or design to the interests of his

was called in. We be the people also on occasions such as this

discovery that Sidney and Russel in their contest against tyranny
had receipt of French gold! as if a piece of gold could
would go less far in the of arms for defence against
tyranny from the having come from France. Now on the other
hand the witness is the hypocrisy of the Whigs, also because
it was to Sidney and then Russel that the evidence pointed,
not to believe it
