  • In this sentence Paine refers to Tories.

Explanation:

The American Crisis is a pamphlet composed by a series of articles written by Thomas Paine,<em> (He first wrote Common Sense which played a significant part in convincing the colonists to fight for Independence)</em>. The American Crisis main purpose was to support the Revolution when colonists began to withdraw from the army.

Tories or Loyalists were American colonists that remained loyal to Britain, which is the enemy Paine is talking about in the excerpt.

<em>"Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy"</em> in this sentence Paine talks about how Tories wouldn't stand up against Britain, he described them as people that lived in fear and that were not brave enough.

"Yet no one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him" in this part of the excerpt Thomas Paine is talking about how in a thousand Tories there was not a single person that was brave enough to join the army of Britain, according to him Britain was only interested in having soldiers not Tories.
