§. Outs are Ins pro tanto

That the English Constitution taken at its present point
can not be of long continuance, every thinking man may by
a little reflection be assured: in one or other of the extremes between
which it is moving so continually on the move, it will terminate: in one or other of the
two ways it will become pure.

In fact it for this long time it never has been at
rest. On the one hand in external force, the ruling few
are gaining every day: in external force, in all its elements
— civil power, military power, money at command
On the other hand so are the subject many in internal force,
in that force the a seat of which is in the mind. Every
day the eye of the public is opening itself wider and wider,
but thoroughly open it can not be without seeing that the
hands it is in are those of a which sort only of a natural enemy,
but an enemy whom whose appetite thirst no booty can satiate, whose
terrors no accession of force can banish remove: and by to whom
the situation of his colleagues in on the Continent is viewed
with a degree of undissembled envy as an object of envy
without disguise.

Already there are as many criminals in the kingdom
as there are subjects: for such, without any exaggeration is the
state of the laws. If there be a human being in the kingdom in a state of maturity for crime
of mature age out of the grave and at the same time out of
jail, it is because the laws remain unexecuted. Already In the hands
of the ruling few, is the thread of every man's life ready to be cut at pleasure: it is ready every moment to
be cut at pleasure: and still yet (but who can wonder) they feel not
themselves secure.
