Disaffection

the concurrence and assistance of his ministers,
by whose instrumentality the ordinary concerns of course of
administration the state are carried on. Tie up their hands up,
and you tie up his. By exposing them to Leaving them exposed to the
censure of the world you answers every purpose
which could be answered by leaving him exposed to the same
is answeredcensure except gratifying the spleen of those
by whom that censure is applied.

The reason of for punishing Disaffection to the Sovereign
in cases in which it would not be to [] be punished were
he a common man is that if neglected it may ripen into
Rebellion. But though Disaffection may prove a cause of
Rebellion, it is by no means necessarily followed by
that effect. There never was that Government with
which every individual subject was well satisfied:
there never therefore was that Government in
which there was not some degree, however small
of disaffection. But to be dissatisfied even with the personal conduct of the sovereign, nay even to express that dissatisfaction in a violent and public manner is one thing; to such to give vent to it by the extreme and desperate crime of taking up arms against his authority is another. It is not necessary therefore to punish
it in the same manner as Rebellion.
