Is it then possible to doubt that his reason for not receiving other presents in as public a manner was that he knew that it was wrong to receive them? One argument still remains, plausible in appearance, but admitting of easy and complete refutation. The two chief complainants, Aubrey and Egerton, had both made presents to the Chancellor. But he had decided against them both.
My mother and sisters will follow so soon as their health permits. I felt the duty to help them in their first establishment here. For this I had to work, having no means of my own. Some generous friends advised me to try a lecture for this purpose, and I did it. I will not act the part of crying complainants about our misfortunes; we will bear them. Let me at once go to my task.
Complaints were made to the Assembly, that all the valuable lands on navigable rivers and Creeks adjacent to Port-Royal had been run out in exorbitant tracts, under colour of patents granted by the Proprietors to Cassiques and Landgraves, by which the complainants, who had, at the hazard of their lives, defended the country, were hindered from obtaining such lands as could be useful and beneficial, at the established quit-rents, though the Attorney and Solicitor-General of England had declared such patents void.
But 'Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them, so runs the Psalm, and are not children a heritage and gift that cometh of the Lord? 'Now, say these overburdened parents to Nehemiah, 'we cannot let our children starve. That was the first class of complainants.
The police-courts have only become odious by the clamour of feminine complainants since the disappearance of the bonnet. It was awful as the helmet of Minerva, inviolable as the cestus of Diana. Nor was the bonnet of thirty-years ago an unbecoming headgear a pretty face never looked prettier than when dimly seen in the shadowy depths of a coal-scuttle bonnet.
Peg Tatem, according to agreement with the complainants, was released and advised to seek other fields, which he did. In the meantime a new dam had been built by Tom and Hippy, and a sawmill established twenty-five miles further down the river.
The natural tendency of Bacon's mind would undoubtedly be to judge rightly and justly; but the negative argument of the silence at the time of complainants, in days when it was so dangerous to question authority, and when we have so little evidence of what men said at their firesides, is not enough to show that he never failed.
The complainants should look nearer home and they would find from the records of the Irish Legislature that during the "halcyon" days of "Grattan's Parliament" the eighteen years between 1782 and the Union no less than fifty-four Coercion Acts were passed, some of them of a thoroughness and ferocity quite unknown in later legislation.
Anyhow we got a hundred fine horses together at the cost of a good many imprecations. The complainants may be divided into the following categories: 1st. Those who really believed they had some cause of complaint. 2nd. Those who did not feel inclined to part with anything without receiving the full value in cash whose patriotism began and ended with money. 3rd. 4th.
But the trustees were deaf to complaints. They maintained that the one thing lacking for prosperity from silk and wine was perseverance, that the restriction on land tenure was necessary on the one hand to keep an arms-bearing population in the colony and on the other hand to prevent the settlers from contracting debts by mortgage, that the prohibitions of rum and slaves were essential safeguards of sobriety and industry, and that discontent under the benevolent care of the trustees evidenced a perversity on the part of the complainants which would disqualify them for self-government.
