The sentence that best supports the idea that the words of the British do not match their actions is:
“Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land.”
This statement highlights the contradiction between the seemingly polite response to petitions and the aggressive military actions being taken, emphasizing the disconnect between words and deeds.
