From p.11
By men with these interests and these views, any part
taken in an association having for its known object the
bringing about accomplishment a beneficial change would naturally be
a forced and insincere one. But even with minds
in any degree adverse to an association men may add to the its apparent
strength of an association and by that means to its
real strength and influence.

For 8 years to 1783 the S.
had been traitors &c.
Ao 1783, in this mode
of loyalty they became
or a sudden as any
subject a Stuart or
Gwelph ever had.
Not to pin down Sheffield
to a thousand,
since number of times
as great as that of
U.S. must in his
opinion have been
that of Ireland.
For years together, these Americans had
been conspirators, rioters, traitors, rebels: at the end of that
time they became and were universally and legitimately
recognized as being free, and independent, good men and true,

arithmetic, it is a scarcely would it be consistent with
evidence and sincerity, to attempt go about to tie his Lordship
to that exact number. But, considering the matter
in the strictest point of view, the least surely that can be
said is, that on the occasions instances respectively in question, the
Irish United Irishmen of that day had some number of times that the United Americans had the reason for becoming
had it been found necessary, disaffected, disloyal conspirators, revolters, rebels and
traitors.
