there is no more difficulty in acting through Parliament
than against Parliament, nor in tossing a burthen
from the Counties upon the public, than from the
public upon the Counties; that where neither engagements
nor even laws can bind, much less can
mere professions give any sort of trouble: and that
where comn common honesty is not so much as
an impediment, much less can consistency be a
bar; announce to him in short, that though nothing
is to be done for those whose trust is in law, good
faith, and recognized utility, all those things are
possible for those whose charity knows how to
cho chs choose a proper object, so long as their hopes
are humble and steer clear of flattery. —

If, after all this consolation, it should still
occurr to him that the £4000 is the one thing needful,
& that this one thing needful is still wanting, whisper
again into his ear, my Lord, or say aloud to him —
no matter which — (for at certain heights from whence
shame as well as fear is looked down upon, concealment
is without a motive) give him to understand then
any how, that there are other expedients — that there
are shorter and cheaper modes of disposing of poisoners,
than by suffering them to remain as a load either here
or elsewhere upon government, or upon the Counties:
that these preferable and preferred expedients are not
speculative, theoretical, flighty, utopian, ideal "projects",
but practical, practised, well-considered, well established,
official measures: that they are in full use with
Noble Lords and never disapproved of by great persons:
