fudges a place inyour Paper you mill oblige one
of your Readers.
i.^'^Qtf fy^gOW the people of Judea were
Q %^ $ rich, and had waxed strong,
O^ AT M. , an d bad built cities and tow
/\,^ ^, ers, and their mighty men
fg" '^^ ^ dwelt therein.
J 2 - ^^ they forgot the
Lord their Go d, and did evil
in his fight, and profaned his Sabbaths, neither
did they regard the voice of the poor, nor did
they withhold themselves from the oppression of the
needy, even the children of their brethren that
dwelt upon the sea coast.
2. They bought them with silver, and with a
pair of (hues, and caused them to labour like unto
the beasts of the field. When they cried they re
fufed to hear them. They gave them stripes in
stead of meat, yea, they muzzled them, even as
the strangers muzzle the ox, which is an abomina
tion among my people, said the Lord.
4. They parted the wife from the husband, and
the bread of the mother was dried up, for her
suckling child was delivered to a stranger.
5. And they refufed to teach them the ways of
the Lord; how be brought forth Moses and their
fathers out of the land of Egypt, and the mighty
works he did for them in the wilderness.
6. And it came to pass that the King of AfTy
ria sent forth a decree against the tribe of Zebu
lun whodwell at the haven of the sea. He caused
their (hips to lye on the dry land, and he sent his
chosen bands, and his Captains of thousands into
their city to rule over them with a rod of iron,
and all the people were fore amazed.
7. And all the tribes of Judea were troubled,
and the voice of lamentation was heard in every
part of the land.
8. And the Elders, and the wife men, and the
Judges assembled themselves together in the city
of Judah, and took counsel together, how they
might bring the counsels of the King of Assyria to
nought.
9. And one of the Elders arose, and said, let
us go to the Lord our King with ropes round our
necks, and let us fall down at his feet and worlhip
him and it may be, he will have mercy on us, and
remove the evil which he has brought upon us.
10. And the men of the north and of the south
were mighty in speech, for they feared God, but
they feared not man. And they opened their
mouths with wisdom, and laid, let us no more buy
our purple, and fine linen of the Aifyrians, and
when they cry out for lack of bread, the King our
Lord will hear them, for he feareth his own
people, but he regardeth not the afflictions of his
people who dwell afar off.
11. And all the Elders, and the wife men, and
the Judges did accordingly—and they said with
one voice, let us quit ourselves like men.— We will
eat and drink of the fruit of our own land—and
we will not obey, in all things, the commandment
of the King of Aflyria.
12. And in the midftof these counsels there was
a found heard like the rustling of mighty winds,
and there went forth a loud voice like unto thun
der, faying,
13. Hear, 0 ! ye Elders, and wife men, and
Judges of my people. lam the Lord your God,
who brought forth your fathers out of the land of
Egypt, and out of the house of bondage, and led
them through the wilderness, and brought them
into this land flowing with milk and honey.
14. I drove the Canaanites from before them,
and I broke the jaws of the Chaldeans who for
merly divided with them the lands of Judea.
15. But ye have forgotten the rock from whence
ye were hewn, and the pit from whence ye were
digged, and have forfaken my ordinances, and have
oppressed the poor and needy among your brethren
with fore burdens.
16. And their cries have come up before me,
and I have stirred up the King of AfTyria to take
vengeance upon your iniquities. And the evil
which ve have brought upon your brethren, is it
not come upon yourselves?
17. Now repent therefore, and remove out of
your land the oppressions of the needy, that your
fall days, and new moons, may no more be an
abomination in my fight.-—For if ye regard this
iniquity in your hearts I will not listen to the cry
of your Applications in the day wherein trouble
cometh upon you.
18. Cause your brethren to be circumcised, and
teach them in all the knowledge which Moses my
servant taught your fathers, and cause them to
dwell among you as children, and to worlhip in
my holy temple.—Then will I bless you, and make
you a great people, and enlarge your borders,
and confound the counsels of the King of Assyria.
19. And the Elders, and the wife men, and
the Judges were fore astonished at the voice which
came forth from the Heavens, and fear fell upon
them all, and they smote upon their breasts, and
cried, we are guilty, O Lord, before thee this day.

20. And they offered facrifices unto the Lord,
even an hundred bullocks, and five hundred rams,
and they rent their garments, and eloathed them
selves with sackcloth.
21. And they published a decree throughout all
the land commanding every one to circumcise the
children of the Bondsmen, and to teach them the
ordinances of the Lord, and to deal kindly and
justly with them.
22. And whosoever shall exchange gold or silver,
or any of the merchandize of Assyria, or Judea,
for his brethren, shall not enter into the congrega
tion of the Lord. He shall not dwell in ourland.
He shall not defile it with his abominations.
23. Now when the King of Assyria heard of
their doings, and of the kindness which they had
showed to their brethren whom they had oppressed,
he was fore afraid, and he repented of the evil
which he had brought upon Judea, and he com
manded his ships, and his hosts to depart from
Zebulun, and God gave him an understanding
heart, and he put evil counfellors from before his
throne.
24. And the land ofjudea flourifhed; and their
wine and their corn and their oil abounded beyond
measure, and their children multiplied greatly, so
that no man could number them.
25. And they became a mighty people, for the
Lord was a wall of fire round about them, and
the glory in the midst of them.

QU ESTIONS concerning our American colo
nies. Addressed to Lord North.
I. T J AVE not our colonies in America, for
£ more than an hundred years, been per
feaiy peaceable and quiet, loyal and affectionate
to the crown of England? And have they not
greatly contributed towards the increase of the
commerce, navigation, and strength of their mo
ther country?
2. Was it good policy in government to break
such concord and union, and to adopt such mea
sures, as must lessen, if not destroy those great
benefits and advantages, which this kingdom reap
ed from them ?
3. Are not our fellow fubjeds in America, en
titled to all the common lights and privileges of
Englishmen ?
4. Is it not a common right of all Englishmen,
according to the constitution of this kingdom, not
to be obliged to pay any taxes, but such as they
themselves shall give their consent to, by their re
presentatives in Parliament?
5. Have not cur American fellow-fubjeffs the
fame common right? And ought, therefore, a Bri
tish Parliament to impose taxes upon them, with
out their being represented therein, and giving
their consent thereto ?
10. Are not the people of Boston entitled to en
joy that common right of all Englishmen and free
men, of being heard what they can fay in their own
defence, before they are condemned and punished?
11. Does not the bill, now passed, for block
ing up the port and harbour of Boston, and de
priving the inhabitants of it of the benefits oftrade
and commerce, take away the common right of all
free fubjeds, by condemning and punishing them
for a supposed offence, unheard?
12. Would it not shew more reason and pru
dence to give up a point, grounded upon the
greatest injustice and impolicy, than to pursue it
with obstinacy?
13. Is it not worthy your Lordship's most se
rious consideration, whether the consequences of
your conduct towards the Bostonians, may not
produce such a junction and union amongst all our
American colonies in defence of their common
rights and freedom, as may cut off all future de
pendence and connection between them and their
mother-country, and whether you may not, in
such case, justly exped, that the heavy vengeance
of this nation will be hurled upon your head?
BRUTUS.
6. Was imposing taxes, the proper and natural
advantages which this country was to reap from
their colonies in America, or was not the increase
of its commerce, its navigation, and its strength,
the apparent benefits which were to accrue from
them to this kingdom?
7. Was it not the highest pitch of impolicy, to
throw away all those great advantages, for the
fake of imposing a trifling tax? Was it not losing
the substance for the fake of the shadow?
8. Was it not the most erroneous policy in go
vernment to bring such a question upon the carpet,
as, whether the Parliament of Great-Britain have,
or have not a right to impose taxes upon our Ame
rican fellow-fubje&s ; because even the difeuffion
of such a question, however decided, could not
fail of creating suspicions and jealousies between
our colonies, and their mother-country?
9. Does not such impolicy in government
prove, that all the great and solid advantages
which have arisen to this kingdom, from her Ame
rican colonies, are to be rifqued, ifnot relinquished,
for the fake of extending the arbitrary power of
the crown?
