Constitut. Law
Question. Why not give to an assemblage of a set of men
succeeding in a perpetual succession those who go off by
death being a permanent body kept up by hereditary
succession and encreasable by the Monarch, a negative in
all laws, with or without an initiative?
Because as every Member of such a body the elements
of relative inaptitude the same in kind as in the situation of a Monarch
and howsoever in comparison of that situation inferior in degree
yet at all times sufficient to secure for the joint benefit of King
Lords and Commons at the expence of the people the enumeration
of the sinister sacrifice. Whatsoever tends to give encrease to the amount
of that sacrifice will be sure of their assent: whatsoever tends to apply
restriction to it will be sure of their dissent.
Against the just resentment of the people this body will serve
as a service to the Monarch.
To the delusive splendour of played off by the Monarch upon the imagination
of the people the Members of the aristocratical body will add such
whatsoever factitious splendour their persons are manifested with.
