Parsons locates God's hand in all events "either when we enjoy the advantages of good civil government or find that it is altered and become grievous." The British heritage of good civil government is now disturbed: "The scene is changed- Grievances are complain'd of- In Great Britain- In Ireland- In America- In this Province.- The day is become gloomy and dark and the waters are troubled." <br/> Even in England "A King may be misled by evil counsellors- He may be corrupted by bad ministers and give into those measures which are injurious to the subject."
