The burthen of the conditions will not I hope be regarded as excessive.
From such a commission over and above wha direct advantage
may be derivable results a collateral benefit may be derivable,
encrease of strength to whatever bonds of amity by which may have
place at present Spain may find herself united to Portugal:
encrease of honour glory from that connection: glory instanced with
blood: glory of in the purest as well as incontrovertible shape

From Of the sort of invitation in question, if not in
itself improper, have another a collateral benefit
to you may be the result: I mean the augmentation
of that unexampled glory – the glory of giving laws
to willing nations – that have already become .
For I say unexampled: for to Spain, and with the strictest
truth may be applied that saying which, in the
language of poetic flattery, was said with such notorious
falshood said of the tyrant of tyrant Rome – I volentes Per popritos obit juraShe o'er the willing nations
spreads his laws. Yes (it may be said to me) that glory, our country
she has: is but without you: and therefore to
to do she has no need of you. This is Will this he
said
My answer is – the antecedent is undeniable;
but the consequent does not follow. Though the same
however would not have been done Code to a Code
directed to bad ends – to a BonaparteCode for instance – to a
Bourbon Charter. Yet that it was done to your Code
was owing not solely to the goodness of the work,
but in part to the urgency of the occasion, and the obvious
utility of copying from the work of a government already
established.
