Courts of Law. The System proceeds, and may perhaps terminate in an intirely new Colony-
Police, by erecting the Congress into [inserted: the] Legislatures of free allied States. And on
this Alliance and Confederacy may arise a stated Continental or Imperial Congress for
deliberating Matters of universal Moment. I do not say that this Change would be the happiest,
wisest & best: but this I say, that the [inserted: present] Measures of Administration & Parl
t
. will
precipitate & ensure such a Revolution, and if not desisted and departed from, all will very soon
terminate in this. If there be no Relaxation speedily, a Continental Army will be raised, and
under repeated supposed Defeats, will survive and perpetuate itself, till such or a similar system
of Policy shall be eventually established.
It is my ardent Prayer to the Most High that the Union between Great Britain and these
Colonies may never be dissolved; and that we may always boast and glory in having Great
Britain the Head of the whole British Empire. And we thank you, dear Madam, for interposing
your kind Offices, in you late truly patriotic, pathetic & importunate Address to the three
Kingdoms. With the sincerest Esteem and Respect, I am, Dear Madam,
Your
most
Obedient
Very humble Servant
Ezra Stiles
