To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They held up the sacred pledges of life and fortune, made to support a constitu- tion, which was as inestimable as the blood that had purchased it. And they conjured their breth- ren not to gratify the malice of their common ene- mies, in seeking a redress of supposed grievances, by other means than those which their social com- pact had amply provided. To their address, his Excellency returned a very favourable answer, in which, however, he plainly suggested, that the su- pineness of those cit...izens, who had been duly call- ed upon to assist the Sheriffs, and had neglected to do it, drew on them the blame of the unhappy consequences. The letter to the several towns produced various replies, but most of them con- veyed an union of sentiment, and a tender of aid to the constitution.
46 The disposition for insurrections at this time, was not confined to Massachusetts. On the 20th of September, about four hundred men, armed in different modes, surrounded the legislature of New Hampshire, for several hours, with a view of forcing them into a paper money system, agree- ably to a petition which had been previously pre- ferred by a convention of delegates from about thirty towns in that state.
