. firR cultivated religion, liberty and fci-

their children in the principles of religion
and liberty, and died in the faith that .hei
heirs would reap the harveff of freedom
which they had TOWN. They forewarued
their children that perilous times would
come, when evil men would endeavour to
bring in flavery and other evils; and behold
the time is already come, the criiis is at hand,
the fgord and the fpear are drawn againit

"' As the happinefs of community 70

You again expreis your concern that ihnuId

m<Gig. you vindieate the town Of Bolton and
the other towns in the province which kaye
met tosetherand determined upon the fame iub-
jea, and made their proceedings matter of re-
cord and publiihed them in news papers and
yet in the clole of il you al, IT that the labjed
is too delicate and Of too great importance for
you to conGder. Certainly then 1t mutt have
beea extremely irregular 10 the towns 10 take
upon them fsPerately to determine points which
they had no authority TO determine and in this
way to i,aueuce If not determine the acts add

reach of the bulk of mankind to compre-

That two iuch powers cannot coexiif, but
neceiarily will make two diHina ftates.
That in ita,e of fociety Ve give up part of
our natural liberty in order to lecure that le-
gal freedom which il is the great end of 60
vernment to maintain and preierve.--That
right in individuals or parts ofagovernment
to judge ofthe deciiions of the fupreme au-
thority and to fubmit or not fubmit as they
think proper, cannot conGff with fate of
government and mutt work the daolution of
it. Whit thele principles had their due in

thofe other blefings which fate of govern
