And tho' it may not be allow'd to be so here, yet I found it more
constantly so there, Effects were true to their Causes, and confusion
of Councils never fail'd in the Moon to be follow'd by distracted and
destructive Consequences.

This appear'd more eminently in the Dispute between these two Lunar
Nations we are speaking of; never were People in the Moon, whatever
they might be in other Places, so divided in their Opinions about a
matter of such Consequence. Some were for declaring War immediately
upon the Northern Men, tho' they could show no Reason at all why,
only because they would not do as they would have 'em; a parcel of
