To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Assembly, the last year, suffered the greatest indignity ; surrounded, while sitting, by a military guard, with cannon at their doors, to affront or awe them ; and wlien they remonstrated against the high breach of their privilege, they, and not the soldiers, were made to give wav. Can freedom and dignity, then, exist in an Assembly, that can tamely brook such usage ? Would it not be betraying the consti- tution, and the rights of this Assembly, to proceed to business, ■while we are thus co...nstrained to hold the session here ? Besides, is there nothing further to apprehend .^ If the Assembly should, in this situation, proceed to do business, act uprightly, and accord- ing to their consciences, and thereby give further umbrage to a despotic Minister; may they not expect to be convened, held and kept in a state still more humiliating and disgraceful, until they shall become sufficiently ductile and obsequious ? Indeed, we cannot find that ever a Parliament was prorogued in England, Or summoned to any place, for the sake of punishing the Members, or putting them to any inconvenience.
