We must meet at length; which cannot be without a violent conclusion: and the time seems not to be far off. Do I see the motley armies of French and painted Salvages taking our fortresses and erecting their own even in our capital towns and cities! Do I behold them spreading desolation thro' the land ! Do I see the slaves of Lewis with their Indian allies dispossessing the free born subjects of King George of the inheritance received from their forefathers.Do I see christianity banished for popery! the bible for the mass-book! the oracles of truth for fabulous legends!<br /> <br /> ".Instead of a train of Christ's faithful laborious ministers do I behold an herd of lazy Monks and Jesuits and Exorcists and Inquisitors and cowled and uncowled Imposters! Do I see a protestant there stealing a look at his bible and being taken in the fact punished like a felon!.And in fine do I hear the miserable sufferers those of them that survive bitterly accusing the negligence of the public Guardians.O dishonest! profane! excreble sight! O piercing sound! that entereth into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath." pp. 37-39. Samuel Kneeland, Printer to the Honourable House of Representatives unknown
