The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved. by James Otis, Esq. the Third Edition, Corrected.

by James Otis

"To those who lay the foundation of government in force and meer brutal power, it is objected; that, their system destroys all distinction between right and wrong; that it overturns all morality, and leaves it to every man to do what is right in his own eyes; that it leads directly to scepticism, and ends in atheism. When a man's will and pleasure is his only rule and guide, what safety can there be either for him or against him, but in the point of a sword?"

The guy that coined the phrase "no taxation without representation" was a loyalist apparently.
