J. B. quere for reason — these but things
would not answer our purpose: not in Es
we abhor them &c

by a set of imposters who either appointing themselves or forcing
others to appoint them, exercise a tyranny of which a mixture
of fraud and force is the instrument, enable depredation
and oppression, all continually encreasing, are the result.

They would endeavour to make us cause it to be believed make us men believe that the existence
of a King, mad and foolish enough to try to govern
without the sort of tool called a Parliament instead of
making the existing quantity of appropriate matter into the
sort of tool we see and feel was and is the single
defect which in the Constitution in question then had or now
has "place". They would endeavour to cause it to be believed
either that in those days no seats were filled by
bribery or what is so much worse by that intimidation
by that intimidation which wealth in no place situation nor at
any time wealth can case, even without acting perceptible action
apply to indigence, or and that the existence of such bribery
and intimidation and the tyranny and imposture falshood which
accompanies all voting performed under such a yoke
are no not defects. They would cause us to it to be believe if they
could that prudence absence of defect in 1688 is a sufficient
reason for refusing to endure the any removal of defects in
1819 even of those very defects of which in the same breath
they themselves are denying indeed but at the same time
as confessing the existence.
