in the nation--measures executing contrary to the interest,
petitions, and resolves of many large, respectable, and opulent

successful, must end in the ruin and slavery of Britain, as well
as the persecuted American colonies.

"We sincerely hope that the great Sovereign of the universe, who
hath so often appeared for the English nation, will support you
in every rational and manly exertion, with these colonies, for
saving it from ruin; and that, in a constitutional connection
with the mother-country, we shall soon be altogether a free and
happy people.

"JOSEPH WARREN, _President, P. T._"
