§. King can do no wrong
Fiction

7 8

Such as has been the mischievousness mischievous effects of fiction in other
and less extensive instances cases, such has it been in this all-comprehensive
one. What in the shape of a lawyer the instrument
of despotism has declared the Monarch to be, in the shape
of a Courtier he has professed to believe him to be in right
earnest — impeccable a model of perfect virtue. Such, with
the addition of beauty was Elizabeth on all occasions declared
to be by all her Courtiers — Such every man who ever bears
a crown is by Blackstone declared to be: and this so seriously
that from on the position that he is so arguments are grounded and
practical inferences deduced from it. And that, to the character
of God upon earth Demi God not to say God upon earth
nothing worthy as such to be worshipped and glorified, nothing
and by "prostration of understanding and will" worshipped nothing
may be wanting, every thing is by the Church of England
Liturgy and the Act of Parliament in which it is contained
every King, though he were a professed Atheist, declared and
constituted most religious.

Such being the fiction, how in the case in question stands
the plain truth? That the King or queen can never do wrong? No assuredly.
That he can never do otherwise than wrong? Nor that
neither. With truth, not Of the most flagitious character that ever existed could
any such thing be said. But that taking his whole life through
more wrong if by wrong be meant mischief, is done by a man
in this situation than by a man in any other, is matter of
the strictest truth. In the whole 17 millions or whatsoever may the
number may be no man can there be whose interest is in
a state of such m unde opposition to the universal interests
Of the produce of the labours of the 17 millions
by no man is any thing like so large a portion taken from them
by force, and expended in the gratification of his own appetites, while
by that which is thus consumed thousands who every year perish for
want
want of the necessaries
of life might have been
saved from such their
fate.
