Offach men as these let us scorn to be tools,
Dir^ work to perform---do they take us for fools ?
Brave sailors are wiser than thus to be bamm'd,
Let them turn out therafelves, lads, and fight and
be damn'd.
To the prefdious, the truce breaking THOMAS GAGE.
f T is difficult to know how to address such a mon-
Rer, the language necessary to make use of, in
such an address, it pertinent, must be shocking and
truly humiliating to human nature.---MaN was
made after the image ofGon, and designed, not only
to be, but, to make all around him capable of hap
piness, and happy. How then have you contra
diffed and thwarted the design of the Creator ! Your
chief view seems to have been to reverse the bentevo
fent designs of your Maker by rendering his crea
tures as miserable as your diabolical disposition
can make t'arn. What original law of nature are
you not daily breaking ? What bond of civil society
are you not dissolving or attempting to dissolve ? Is
it a crime to commit murder ? Is it a crime to Real
and plunder ? And have you not owned that you
attempted to destroy our property ? And has it not
been proved that by your troops you ravaged our
houses ? Have not your troops (sent with orders to
Real, rob and murder) fulfilled as much of your
INFERNAL plan as was in their power ?---Did
they not murder 8 innocent inoffenfive men at Lex
ington, and a number more at Concord ? And yet
you have the impudence to tell this down-right lie to
the world, i. e. That you have found exam,les often
dernefs (in those DOGS OF WAR) after you had
let them loose and cry'd'oavock butzzo vafige of cruelty
or Barbarity in them ! !—
Have you not robbed persons of their property as
they have been passing in and out of the town of Bos
ton at the very time when you declared to the Con
tinental Congress that the passage was free and un
inoleßed ? When Mr. Pierpoint carried you a bill
of the goods which you robbed him of on Boston
neck, and demanded of you either pay for them, or
a return of them, did you not refufe to comply with
either ? and like your brother robbers, who have
fwang at Newgate, Boston neck, &c. did you not
appropriate his property thus Rolen, to your own
use ? Nay, have not you, and your associates by
your orders, been mean enough to Real rum and su
gar from a poor texmfcr, half a cake of ginger-

SUU, u ualuhg, with qali a from a poor wo
man who was flying half famifhed out of Boston from
your low liv'd tyranny and oppression ? I blush
for human nature. I begin to think 'tis the devil
(in human Riape) lam now diferibing, a devil in
carnate, and the world perhaps will think so too,
when they know how fairly you match the father of
lies in dissimulation and lying Witness your toads
on the last Election day at Boston; the firft was---A
good choice of Counfellors---the second, Prosperity
to the townof Bofton-r-whem your profeffed design in
coming to America was to destroy both. This is e
vident, especially to those who heard you profanely
swear, that,^ came to put the ads of the British
parliament into execution, and, By Godyou would do
if.And,l defy you to produce a single infiance where
in you have not broke your most sacred promises to
the people of Boston. But the single breach of the
capitulation with them, after they had religiously
fulfilled theirpart,muft brand your name and memo
ry with eternal infamy. The proposal came from
you to the inhabitants by the medium of one of your
officers, through the Selectmen, and was, that if the
inhabitants would depoft their fire-arms tn the bands of
the Selectmen, to be returned to them again after a reajon
able time, you would give leave to the inhabitants to re
move out of town with all their effects, without an, lett
or molefation. The town punctually complied, and
you remain an infamous monuntet of perfidy, for
which an Arab,a Wild Tartar o/Tavage would dif
pife you ! ! ! 'Tis said you console yourfelf by re
ceding upon this tenet of your religion, viz. That
faith is not to be kept with heretics. But unless you let
the people go, tho' your power be as great, and your
heart as hard as Pharaoh's, you may be puniihed
with plagues, as feverc and as great as his, for you
have lied to that God (whole name you invoked in
your promise) who puniihed him, and whole arm is
not weakened that he cannot Rill punilh you.
Had you not better repent of your villanies, be
fore it be too late, that you may avoid the just ex
ecrations of an injured people, who possibly may
execute upon you the punishments you by your com
plicated crimes have merited, and you should fuffer
the more terrible punishments of another world. For
the fake of Great-Britain do not resolve with your
deluded king, Readily to pursue such measures for the
support of the conftitutitonal rights ofGreat- Britain,
as will inevitably destroy them, and such measures
for her commercial interest, as will infallibly annihi
lated, left your old CHASTISERS should make use
of that great Supporter of the rights of mankind, the
Printing-Press, which is now preparing for the fur
ther scourging of Tyranny and Tyrants, and hand
yourname down with infamy, 'till its hateful found
Ihall be banilhed from America.
