The correct answer would be that all of the elements mentioned were part of St. Thomas Aquinas philosophical system. He considered himself an Aristotelian (followed Aristotle's teachings which in modern day are considered the development of Plato's teachings), an Empericist (it is the theory that all knowledge comes from sensory experiences) and a Neoplatonist ( believes mind over matter and that reality is subjective; depends on the highest principle). And since he was before anything a Christian theologian, then all the elements are part of his system.
The sentence which suggests that Patrick Henry believed British rule in the American colonies was tyrannical is:
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts."
Patrick Henry in his famous speech “Give me liberty, or give me death!” says that there lies a correct time to attain peace. He uses his power of persuasion to keep his thoughts before people. According to him, he would rather opt for death than to be a slave of any other people. He adds that his freedom can never be counted on materialistic terms. No one has the right to buy anyone's freedom. He can either opt for war or die in order to attain freedom.
