in England Share of Judge and Co
in powers of Government

Eminently Very different has their solution in this respect been all
along in England. The grand instrument of despotism — a standing
army not having sprung up been found in England till after a system
of government suited to the purpose of the Judges and the Lawyers
had been found fashioned by lawyers, the Monarch in the measures
taken for the advancement of his own sinister interests
puts himself under the necessity of letting in their sinister
interests for a considerable share of the benefits. Other hands end
still more obsequious could he have found them would of course
have been employed by him in preference ye could he have found them but no such hands
did the nature of the case afford. In the field of law covered
as it was by a jungle of their own planting, none but themselves
could find means to move. Only by a

Portiousy mode in
in which they have
obtained their power

Awed by Parliaments which though in esse as unfrequently
and for as short a time as the new repents if the Monarch
could contrive were continually in posse, only in by an to obscure
and tortious way road would the Judges make this way towards th theirs
in the prosecution of their designs. What they were
by fresh power and fresh sources of profit no excuses
offered they thrown into his hands they were ministering to his their ever dependent nature of his
rapacity, he through ignorance or indolence connived all the
while at there. While by fine and confiscation they were but
filling his coffers, by fees in addition to salary he connived
at the rapacity produced by them, for their own benefit

This object however they found it beyond the power to accomplish
without a variety of false pretences. Lies accordingly were the
instrument, tools by which on every occasion the dirty part of their
work was done: accordingly in a the such numbers and of
so gross a texture were lies of rapacity uttered by them, that in
a current of rapine and mendacity all the most profligate of their
brethren of the trade in other countries was left far behind.
