American Revolution, x8l
6. But William, chief captain of the ar- mies of Britain, fared fumptuoufly every day, he delighted himfelf with vain fports and fliev7S! and was occupied in thofe things that were not feemly for a warrior! he loved plea- fure, and became vain in his imaginations!
7. He lightly efteemed the glory of Bri- tain! he feemed to account it as a thing of nought! yea, he caufed his nation to be evil fpoken of!
8. Even the feci of the tories, they defpis- ed him! he caufed many of them to turn afide and walk in the footfleps of the great Sanhedrim!
