If the infatuated inhabitants of Great Britain shall acquiesce in this claim of power, and suffer their fellow-subjects and countrymen in the colonies to be thus arbitrarily taxed at the will of the King, they will too late find, how little able they will be to defend their own liberties, if they should hereafter be invaded -- The great security we at present have, is the right of being taxed only by our representatives; but if once it is in his Majesty's power to raise taxes on the British dominions abroad, by virtue of his prerogative royal, that right will be rendered very precarious: 4 1/2 per cent on the produce of Bengal alone, would amount to a sufficient sum, without grant of parliament, to pay and maintain armies, by whose assistance, if any future King should think fit, neither the representatives nor the people would have any thing left to grant. - Last paragraph.
