"Least of all did I write with a view to inflame any: just the contrary. I contributed my
mite toward putting out the flame which rages all over the land. This I have more opportunity
of observing than any other man in England. I see with pain to what a height this already
rises, in every part of the nation. And I see many pouring oil into the flame, by crying out,
'How unjustly, how cruelly, the King is using the poor Americans who are only contending
for their liberty and for their legal privileges!'
