We came not into this wilderness to seek great things to ourselves; and, if any come after us to seek them here, they will be disappointed.

We keep ourselves within our line; a just dependence upon, and subjection to, your majesty, according to our charter, it is far from our hearts to disacknowledge.

We would gladly do anything within our power to purchase the continuance of your favorable aspect; but it is a great unhappiness to have no testimony of our loyalty offered but this, to yield up our liberties, which are far dearer to us than our lives, and which we have willing ventured our lives, and passed through many deaths to obtain.
"It was Job's excellency, when he sat as king among his people, that he was a father to the poor.

A poor people, destitute of outward favor, wealth, and power, now cry unto their lord the king.

May your magesty regard their cause, and maintain their right; it will stand among the marks of lasting honor to after generations." The royalists in the days prior to the American Revolution, occupied a similar position that the monopolists, and wealthy do in politics to-day.
