Barrere, in the name of the commit

j without fee ing it is so. They found
its vulvar enough to attemjft saving our

the blood of nearly one hundred then

as he pretended, he ordered the people
to create him perpetnal Diilator. He

then trampling on them as Haves. Just
so it) England, Cromwell dertroyed the

liberty and religion, then lhddled the
Englilh with his own defptrtic power.

succeed them. God only Joxmfe"
" Anarchy, difordcrs and proscrip

and probably the present Convention
and their successors will be buried in the
ruing of the present conftitutiou of go

" lji a few years, a change will take

be a hot bed party, and ipir:t is violent,

faction, with its train of fatal evils, thau
to commit the execution ef the laws to
