Letter 28 B. Relinquishment entire

'. Give up all

no half measure!

No compromise! no half-measure! Say not to yourselves - listen not to your rulers should they say to you - Well then we will make no war: we will use /practice/ we will attempt no compulsion: but to those whose wish it is to have the benefit of our mild of our virtuous /pure/ government, let us not /why should we/ refuse it?

Why refuse it? why for the sakes of both parties: for the sake of both parties: but in the first place and more particularly for your own. 1 For your own sake: and I have shewn you why: to save the expense: the needless useless, and unprofitable expence, with the correspondent part of the burthen of taxation: and to save, as far as may be the whole constitution from corruption and final destruction: that destruction to which every Constitution in which the Chief functionary is not frequently and regularly changes is in /stand/ continually and necessarily exposed.

True it is that by this saving to yourselves the expence of actual war you will /would/ in this place save yourselves from so much of the mischief. Of actual war. Yes: for a time /on this condition/ that expence you might save to yourselves. But of preparation for eventual war - that expence I have shewn you - I shewed you at the outset - you could not thus save yourselves, For the half-measures here a question think then what sort of a plan it is that you /your rulers/ would have. Be content they might say to you: we have not done to you all the mischief it was in our power to have done: we have done to you no more than a part of it.
