I assume we have the same text that came with this question, and he's saying in a very passive aggressive way that the petition would've been fine if the colonists had agreed to the taxes. However, they didn't, so a simple petition wouldn't get Britain to do anything and harsher actions needed to be taken to get the King's attention.
