----Why, Sirs, in spite of all their _gravities_, they must e'en have been contented to have gone with their insides naked----this was not to be borne, but by an effort of philosophy not to be supposed in the case we are upon----so that no one could well have been angry with them, had they been satisfied with what little they could have snatched up and secreted under their cloaks and great perriwigs, had they not raised a _hue_ and _cry_ at the same time against the lawful owners.

Why, Sirs, in spite of all their gravities, their only recourse would be to snatch up and secrete what they could under their cloaks and great periwigs; raising a hue and cry at the same time against the lawful owners.
