The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Seabury differed from Patriots in his understanding of freedom in that he did not support the independence of the colonies from England. He considered that the search for independence was an act of disobedience to the British crown.

Samuel Seabury (1729-1796) was an American Bishop that belonged to the Protestant Episcopal Church. He published pamphlets inviting Americans not to rebel against the British monarchy. Patriots considered him a loyalist, a supporter of the English crown.
