What is evident is that upon these principles
The loss by the abolition of places for life can no otherwise
be compar adequately compensated then by the grant
of pensions of at least equal value. But what
is more neither can places said to be held during
pleasure be compensation on inferior terms inferior
any thing if at all inferior. Being given only during
pleasure a man is liable, and has been told
that he is liable to lose them by the withdrawing cessation of that pleasure. But though he every body has been told that
he may lose his place, nobody believes that he shall
be made to lose it. He considered it as a promise
for life: his expectation is made up to the keeping it
for life. I will never lose my place he says to
himself, for I will never cease to please.
