They would be proud to observe+ that "in this manner"
p. 3.4.
England preserved all the antient measures of her freedoms":
[and thereupon that "her laws and Constitution continued unshaken]
m they would thus endeavour to cause it to be believed
that if the votes of those whose wishes were thus signified in
appearance were really free, there would in England
be no freedom

They would proceed to observe that under that same
arrangement all England's Laws and Constitution continued
unshaken. They would thus endeavour to make
us believe, that on that occasion no English law was
shaken, taking care on other occasions to make mention
it as matter of merit that some laws were not only
shaken but abolished: and that on the present occasion
should those votes which are pretended to be free be so
in reality not only those laws by which the absence of
such freedom is at present extended would be ab abolished
or changed, but the whole Constitution all that is good in
the Constitution destroyed.

They would proceed to observe+ that on that same occasion
+ p. 4
a principle of mutual obligation was solemnly established
between the title of the sovereign and the stipulated rights
of the people. They would thus endeavour to cause it to be make us men
believed not only that at that time that principle of
obligation which they say was then established was sufficient
for the establishment of the peoples rights — sufficient in a word
for the saving of good government of government having for it
and the greatest happiness of the greatest number but that it
continues in a state of sufficiency with reference to that same
purpose even at this present day.
