§.1.

1. The object the accomplishment of which was the end towards which his enterprize was directed the object by the desired hope of which his enterprize was produced and to the accomplishment of which every step and every word of his was directed, was the acquiring and keeping himself (by force) the sovereignty of the nation to which he was born a subject. But this nation was already in subjection to a sovereign of its own. (This government ere the object could be accomplished it was necessary should be subverted.) But unless and until this government was destroyed this his object would not be accomplished: and [...?] it could not be otherwise than by instruments of the same sort as that by which it was supported: viz by one armed force, by war carried or begun and successfully carried on by means of that armed force.

Men and money—under one or other of these heads may be comprized the two things necessary as in the case of any other war, so in the instance of this.

Men and money including money’s worth —of himself he had neither the one nor the other: By what means could they to be procured?

Hope and fear—Go on with a paragraph beginning with this point[?]

1.

Object by desire and hope of which the enterprize was produced and directed, inquisitive of the sovereignty of the state of which he was born subject. The state having a government of its own, the object could not be accomplished but by the subversion of that government: an effect not producible but by the same means by which it was supported: viz an armed force.

2.

Men and money’s worth—both necessary. Nothing of either had he to begin with: How to procure them?
