'.2. Plan of this address

These evils which are thus mentioned, together with others in abundance which are not mentioned, it is the object of this my address to use /employ/ my humble endeavours towards the averting from both hemispheres /this my humble endeavour to avert from both hemispheres/.

To this purpose, the following are the heads, under which the matter of these observations will be found arranged

5. Even supposing the several American Provinces spontaniously and unanimously and ununanimously desirous to submitt themselves to the dominion of the Spanish rulers, it would be against their[?] interest to comply with any such desire. Say for shortness Creoles were desirous, the dominion undesirable any exercise of dominion over them by Spanish rulers would be pernicious to Spanish people

7. True it is that it could be for the particular interest of the Spanish rulers not only to avail themselves of such desire but to engage and as long as possible persevere in the endeavour to compel such submission by force - Say for shortness to the ruling few at the expense of the subject many would the dominion be beneficial To Spanish rulers, and them alone, would the dominion be in any way beneficial

6. As it would be against the interest of the Spanish people that their rulers should rule /exercise dominion/ over the people of Spanish America with the consent, and at the desire of the people of these Provinces /territories/ respectively, much more so would it be that by these same rulers force should in any instance be employed in the endeavour to compel submission to this /such/ same dominion. Say for shortness, much more supposing

Under the Spanish Constitution as under every other, the United States excepted, the interest of governors /rulers/ is opposite to that of the governed.

Having done what seems necessary and conducive and necessary towards the establishing of these above mentioned propositions, I shall take the liberty of making such reply as may prove necessary /useful/ and necessary to such observations as shall have presented themselves as capable of being made in support of the dominion thus recommended to be given up.
