sometimes misrepresents , but it appears to be only because he misconceives j and though it is much to be lamented , both on his own account , and for the sake of truth , that his imagination has not been more under
the controul of his reason , and his expressions more moderate and chastised j yet \ ye sincerely believe , he has too much integrity and piety to be guilty of any thing approaching to disingenuousaess and falsehood . His

Deign e ' en on me thy holy beam to shed , For clad in thy pure light my soul shall shine , Haruxur'd on earth , and worthy of the skies ; And fit me one dear dangerous path to tread , To add one more to Freedom ' s deathless line : Haply to fall a martyrM sacrifice > — Should such illustrious destiny be mine , O be thou with me when my spirit flies .
