E's patriotism and

They would take counsel from Your Lordships prod prudence:
Your Lordships prudence patriotism, Your Lordships wisdom would be theirs. They would
regard it as "a most hazardous conjunctive" — too hazardous
for them to contribute to or suffer it to be brought about —
when a powerful and populous nation is driven to resort,
p.2.
for its security to the principles of liberty in the pure abstract:
in the pure abstract, as Your Lordship says in Nakes: they would see have their
eyes torn out of their heads sooner rather than open them to see
those same principles carried into effect in the impure
concrete — the case of the American United States: they
lest any other eyes should to any purpose be opened to
that same subject object, they would add put to tail to
the awful warning, and add "without being able to refer to any
"precedent in its own history, for safe guidance and direction:
forgetting that in the case of that same glorious and
sole imitable Revolution "the character of" which Your Lordship
can not endure to see "cast into the shade," there was
no not precedent in the history of this same our country no any
one such thing as a precedent. But such is the wisdom of all worshippers of precedents:
they worship past precedents, buy they will have no future ones. They forget thus the first precedent,
and thus while they
worship, they condemn
the first and every
other, the whole string
of them.

They would like with Your Lordship take up the
rhetorical trumpet and declare that "it is in this account
p.3
"that, after the lapse of more than a century, the Devolution
"of 1688 is considered by all wise and eminent
"statesmen, and by the great mass of the people of this
"country, as an example of singular value and importance.
