Question 6 or 2. To which of the ends does the proposed
seating of Official persons promise to be conducive? from the several departments with right of speech and motion, subject to restriction
or interdiction by the House promise to be conducive?

Answer – Intelligence – appropriate intelligence.
Answer. To the securing to the on the part of those that is on
the part of its whole population in general the maximum
or greatest quantity possible of appropriate intelligence.

Question 7 or 3. In what way will does this means promise to be conducive
to that end?

Answer. In being On the part of the executive part branch of
the government, that is of the King and his servants Ministers it
being all along matter of necessity necessary study to engage the House obtain for their
to measures the approbation either the concurrence or at least the authority of the whole House, it will
be their interest and consequently their study endeavour to
find out and implement station in the House such persons,
as being furnished with the requisite indispensable degree of distinguished obsequiousness as towards
as was his will, are at the same time in an eminent degree remarkable for appropriate distinguished for the talents those talents for the labour of persuasion, and therefore that sort therefore for including that sort and degree of intelligence which
either talent, as well as intelligence. This intelligence is necessary to it. This, intelligence, be it what it may be
the House may at all times have the full benefit of, without seeing having its
decisions exposed turned put into a sinister course direction to be provoked by the accession of so
many dependent votes, expression not of their own will any will of their own
guided by any opinion of their own, concerning the public interest but the will greatest particular interest of the King, or of

the Advocates on either side should take their seats on
the Bench, and and add their votes to each of them with a vote equal in effect to that of anyone with votes equal in effect upon a
par with
to those of the Judges.

By this means they will possess at all times what in their own view of the matter is
the best chance for preserving maintaining in the House the only honest kind of influence
viz. the influence of understanding an understanding – and that
purified, thus far at least from that distinct kind of influence which
is inconsistent with one better parts or inconsistent with appropriate probity over the influence of such counsellors.
