Tho, my Lord, all disguise dissimulation would be in vain, I will
not attempt it. Your Lordship sees my ambition – the turbulence
of it – and what the innovation that it points at: forty years and
by bosom has been a prey to it. The government we
live under, is – I cannot say not indeed an aristocracy – but what
is worse an oligarchy, composed of lawyers. What I
am aiming striving at, is – to form bring about if it be possible a conspiracy – a conspiracy
of between King, Lords and Commons – to the oligarchy, and
set themselves up in its stead.

When success crowns a plan of conquest achieved
by joint exertions, then comes the division of the fruits.
My own exertions humble endeavours, such as they are, are not meant to go
unrewarded: without reward: but the how then for the plan of partition: advantage to Parliament, to the resumption
and exercise of supreme and undisturbed exercise of its lawful power: let mine be the
the advantage of rightly – directed, – duly placed obedience
my own advantage, the satisfaction of serving a lawful master set of masters, a lawful
master and no other, a lawful master, without bowing being pressed galled
any longer under by the yoke of a set of imposters and usurpers.
