II. Uses of that sort of language cant be those who use it
1 Obtaining a the reputation of a Making a shew of regard for the b interest of the people.
2. Obtaining the reputation Making a shew of a general disposition towards self-sacrifice
in all shapes, and or particular sacrifice of so life itself. They
are always upon the alert: watching every , and ready to join in
turning the Monarch out, and killing him if necessary, and for that purpose face the Treason laws, and see their blood corrupted and their bowels cut out and burnt before their faces.
N.B. Every particle of supposing any reputation thus gained, every particle of
it (it will be seen) is not profit: not an expence not the scratch of a pin is
by it.
Since the first Gwelf no Monarch, in or out of
his , either has entertained or ever can entertain, any
such wish as that of governing without Parliament: meaning a
Parliamt constituted as that which we are saddled with.
No Gwelf future monarch existing or future House of Lords,
no existing or future House of Commons can entertain
any such wish as that of going back to themselves, much
less as that of forcing the people back, to Popery. The Monarch
never can entertain any such wish as that of giving to the
Pope or sharing with him the power of appointing to Archbishopricks
Bishopricks and Church Sinecures. No Archbishops or Bishops
can entertain any such wish as that of giving up the to Popish
do. their respective of the one renounced pomp and vanities.
No patrons of livings can entertain any such wish as that
of giving up these same livings to popish strangers, as to annex
to the enjoyment of them by their own offspring the obligation
of abstaining from the comforts of matrimony.
The Whits always ever have been and ever will be ready
to sacrifice not only seats and offices seat and office and title but life itself
provided always it be or a case that can more happen: and
if this sort of case the two just mentioned cases afford a sample.
With this proviso they would bring themselves to contemplate an idea
the event of their concurring in the making of a Revolution which should
have for its object, the good of the whole community, swinish multitude included.
Always understood
the least Whiggish part
of them. For some there
are, to when, though it
were but in a vision,
the scene laid in Utopia
in an , the idea of say any such d idea as that sharing anything good with the two-legged swine would be intolerable. Would it not Earl Grey? Would it not Earl Grosvenor?
would it not Lord Milton? would it not Mr Lambton?
