Sir I appears that I am called here for undertaking one of the
most just causes in my opinion imaginable that which is not only
admitted of under free Governments but even under the most
despotic Governments Now sir as it respects myself I disregard rigid
measures but sir you probably are not apprised of the bad effects
it may have I do assure you sir it will enrage the people beyond all
calculation and it will be the downfall of your-self and I believe
the Colony—These are the reasons why I make the following
proposition which is this—
That the whole colony shall be called togather and if there is a
majority in favor of the petition it shall go on if not it shall fall The
people in every direction have herd of your irons for my
imprisonment, as it respects myself I disregard all you can do I ask no
favors, but for the prosperity of the Colony is the reason why I
make the above proposition It is a proposition that every man in
the Colony will approve of with few exceptions
