this author; at the very time he extended his chriftian charity to a traitor.On Mr. Locke's deteftable revolution principles, rebels may be justified; nay, in many inftances they may deserve the highest applause. On his principles (which are now so univer fally held in contempt) it would be no difficult matter to prove that king, lords, and commons, and both our armies (I forgot Gen. Burgoyne's capitulation) were in a state of actual rebellion against America. I'll quote Mr. Locke to fhew how he perverts words by his definitions. "Thirdly, I anfwer that this doctrine of "a power in the people of providing for their safety anew, by a new legislative, when their legislators have acted contrary to "their truft, by invading their property, is the best fence against "rebellion, and the probableft means to hinder it :-) -For re"bellion being an oppofition not to perfons, but authority, which ❝ is founded only in the conftitution and laws of the government ; "thofe (whoever they be) who by force break through, and by force justify their violation of them, are truly and properly rebels for when men by entering into fociety and civil govern"ment have excluded force, and introduced laws for the prefer❝vation of property, peace and unity amongst themselves, those "who fet up force again in oppofition to the laws, do Rebellare, "that is, bring back the flate of war, and are properly rebels.”— [Locke on Civil Government]-I appeal to the candour of the public, which of the two, the Congress or the Parliament of Great Britain, are rebels; admitting (merely for argument's fake) Mr. Locke's principles.-Taxation on fuch principles, (I beg Dr Johnfon's pardon even for the fuppofition) might be proved ty
