Influence
of the Crown

1.
Ex. 1 Effect, Prosperity
& good government in
England.

Obstacle given as a cause.
Influence of the Crown.
The differential character
of the English compared
with other monarchies
— is, the controul
exercised by the
Agents of the people
over those of the King.

If in this peculiarity
be the cause of the
peculiar prosperity
an influence by which
that controul is nearly
destroyed can not
be a cause of the prosperity
— can not but
be an obstacle.
p.1.

2.
In fact over the Agents
of the King the Members
of the H. of Commons
of whom all as acknowledged
ought to be,
and many are nominees
of the mass of the people
exercise the authority of
Judges: to the purpose
of punishments, not without
the concurrence of
the H of Lords: but to
the purpose of a motion
of themselves.
p.2.

3.
Peoples nominees influence
over wills of
King's do a sole or most
efficient cause of such
comparative prosperity
& good government,
any circumstance by
which this salutary
influence is diminished
can not be a cause of
do can not but be an
obstacle
p 2.

4.
In so far as by Kings
Agents, influence is
exercised on people's
do. the efficiency of this
judicial authority is
to all good purposes
destroyed, preserved
at the same time to
all bad ones: in
their several functions
King's Agents committing
enormities
at pleasure, then by
these their dependents
causing themselves
to be absolved, justified,
commended.
p.3.

5
Here the fallacy
consists in representing
as a cause what
has in truth been
an obstacle. How
it has been an obstacle
has just
been shewn: how
it has operated as a
cause has never been
attempted to be shewn.
p4

6
Circumstance by which
the deception has
been favoured. Of the
effect in question
the influence exercised
over the understanding
of peoples
Agents by Kings do
viz by means of superiority
of information
has really been a cause.
p.4.
