Such is has been seen the language, where and where and when on the
part of the ruling one, any such condescension towards
what concerns the subject many, is vouchsafed to be manifested, is that of considering their happiness as
worth a thought, is vouchsafed to be manifested.
This is however the extraordinary case: it is the case
which naturally has place only in that sort of Monarchy
alone in which the throwing, over the native
colours of selfish tyranny, a varnish of hypocrisy
is regarded as necessary, or at least conducive, to the
only end, which, under a in which it Monarchy, ever has been
or in the nature of man ever can be really pursued by the head of it.

This then is but the extraordinary case. In the
ordinary case no such disguise is being regarded as necessary,
no such humiliation as that of putting it
on is submitted to. To all such degrading and unworthy
made compliances, two aptly nebulous, and preeminently appropriate words legitimacy and order –
both or either of them – form a less assailable more dignified, and
a more majestic, a more awe-striking and in every point of view a
more advantageous, substitute. By the word legitimacy,
intimation is give of the right, which this in quality of representative
of the Almighty is upon earth possesse whereas heavenly Monarch
the earthly Monarch possesses, of converting into
instruments of his own glory, all the men that are
or can be made to be subjects of his power: by the word order
is that depicted, at one str touch of the pencil, the state of things in which that subjection
or in the words of the present Bishop of London speaking from the Episcopal pulpit the "prostration of understanding
and will
"is compliant". As to
any such object as
that of the happiness of
the individuals in question,
no more regard
is manifested by it,
than if, instead of
matter, they those instruments were made of the same material of the Vice-God's glory as the sticks and stones of which his palace is composed.
