These being taken into account not many surely would
be left to add to it.
Of those who had taken no such part he proceeds with
his usual accustomed candour to give this testimony. "The conduct p.364
"of the Roman Catholics for a length of time, except those
"who concerned in this business, had been so respectable that
"it seemed harsh to mention any thing adverse to them:
"but the objection is to their numbers." Thus far his Lordship

on account of the matter still more respectable:
still more admirable; in a still greater degree entitling
them to confidence. With the exception of such of them as
had were been received into the number of the associated
and armed volunteers, they had been unarmed, unassociated,
powerless defenceless helpless If in this situation their peaceableness
gave them a title claim to confidence, how much stronger a title
had they acquired when after their having the whole country
at their command they had still remained submissive?
