Bitter denunciation of the British action against the colonies after the battle of Concord and Lexington: "They have not only endeavored to terrify us with fleets and armies ... But at length attempted by a sudden march of a body of troops in the night, to seize and destroy one of our magazines & a skirmish was brought on; and it is most evident & that the fire began first on the side of the Kings troops&."
