The AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
CHAP. 11.
The Tea arrives on the coast of America, and
is defrayed at Boston. The port of Boston
is flout up.
AND it came to pass, when it was
known to the people of the provin
ces, what had been done in the island of
Britain, and that the merchants' ships had
Tailed,
2. They were greatly moved at the re
port thereof ; and the moving of the peo
ple was like the moving of the tall cedars,
when the fouth wind bloweth upon them !
3. And the people arose, as the land of
the sea for multitude, to oppose the decree
of the King : And the number that con
spired against receiving the weed, was
more than forty thousand men.
4. And when the ships had arrived on
the coast of Columbia, and the mariners
were gone down into the sides of the Ihips ;
lo ! seventeen lion like men from the pro
vince of the East, disguised themselves
like barbarians,! and went into the snips;
and it was about the fourth watch of the
night:
5. And they cast the Indian weed into
the waters of the river, and it was swallow
ed up of the waters.
6. Now when the morning was come,
there was no small dir among the soldiers ;
and they made diligent search tor the con
spirators ; but they had hid themfelvcs and
the thing was not known.
7. And letters were sent into every pro
vince, exhorting the people, far and near,
co chafe deputies from amongil the people,
that they might take council concerning
this thing : And it was so.
8. And it came to pass when the depu
ties had gathered thcmfelves together,
that they also chose other deputies, men of
wisdom, out of every province. And they
all met at one place ; and these were cal
led the great Sanhedrim ± of the people.
9. And the rest of the provinces, al:
though they destroyed not the Indian weed,
as the province of the East had done, yet
they fuffered not the mariners to unlade
the ships.
10. Now when the captains ofthe ships
saw that the people abhorred the decree
cfthe King, they forbore to unlade the
flips left a tumult ihould be made.
11. And when they had refiefhed them
selves, they departed from the coast of Co
lumbia, and failed to the island of Brit
ain.
13, He was exceeding wroth, and the
form of his visage was changed; and he
hastily called his nobles, hi: councilors,
and his wife men, that they might advise
together touching this matter.
14. And a certain Lord § who flood near
the King, who was chief counsellor in the
realm of Britain, spake before the King
and Lid,
17. And if it plcafe the King, let- the
governor and the captain of the King's
ship be commanded, that they take away
from the town, the whole flay of bread,and
the whole day of water ; the ships, and the
merchandize : And inllead of plenty let
there be a famine, and inftcadof peace a
fivord.
:fr And when the ibrd bad done (peak
ing, there was a great shout among the
people ; his counsel was as the coonfel of
Ahithophel, in the days of David King of
Israel ; and he was fe: over the whole
realm, and was next unto the King.
19. And the counsel plcafed the King
and his servants ; and the King made a
decree, and fentit to the governor by a
captain of one of the tall (tips of Britain.
20 And when the governor es the town
had received the King's letters, he set a
watch in the gate thereof; and the cap-
12. And when tidings cane to the King
of Britain, how that the people of the pro
vinces had refufed to obey the decree that
he had made, and had destroyed the Indian
weed ,
15. Jnafmuch, OKing has the people of
the provinces refufe to obey the decree
thou haft made; If it seem good unto the
to hearken to the council of his serv
ant, then let the King make another de
cree ;
• MaJfacbufetts. , Like Indians.
iCongrtf. § Lord North.
tain of the King's ship cast anchor in the
river, and no ship could pass that way.
21. Now it came to pass, when the peo
ple of the provinces had heard that their
brethren in the town were in great strait,
they sent to (peak comfortable words unto
them, and gave them goodly gifts.
zz. And the great council of the provin
ces, even the great Sanhedrim ofthe peo
ple, wrote a petition to the King, wherein
they besought him not to call off his peo
ple, for they were his own inheritance ; but|
that he would look towards them as in times
pall.
23. And the petition was given to Ben
jamin, | |to give to the King : Now this
Benjamin was a wife man, and his name
was much set by among the people ; he ex
ceeded all the ancients in wisdom and
knowledge.
24. He taught the people the hidden
mygeries of nature, which had lain hid
from the foundation of the world, and
which our fathers knew not !
