persons by whom they are urged would be in the power of
the adversaries whom by these instruments weapons they are opposing

very instruments. The supposed wicked author or proposer or advocate of
this supposed wicked measure has but to propose the
opposite of any this or any other wicked measure, in
order to compel these virtuous opposers of the wicked
measure in question to support any and every
other wicked measure, at his choice. a
