Answer:

The complete sentences are:

According to Paine, the government of Great Britain will bequeath nothing that will endure to the colonists.

The meaning of the word posterity in a literal way is the descendants in a family, then in here, it is mention that future generations will live in the place that their predecessors have created and will have the right to blame them if these conditions are not good.

Although all the characters show theocracy's effects on their personalities, the ones who show this most clearly are those who have government and religious influence in the city, such as Reverend Parris, Herrick, Judge Hathorne and Judge Danforth.
