Tory OF the Revoiution--not only IN enemy
but barefaced and scandalcrs i;heiler Of
his coun'ly--hut you cannot doubt that he is

I When you perceive a man using every
means ii his power 70 damp the exertions
OF the government IL the prosecution OF the

ously preach up their rebeit1us and trea-
sonabse doctrines even in the presence Of
the AlmiShty--such men may remind you
OF the Scottish borderers. VINO whenever an
expedition of plunder and assassination was
about to be commenced, began most fervent-

may think their religious cant, detestabie
hypocrisy bat YOU will know them TO be
