4 Inessentialia ?
III Mischief
This in a short time if not in the first instance will
be all that will be thought necessary: though at first perhaps
as abbreviations seldom come in the first place
especially in matters of law law writings in Acts an Act of Parliament or
what may be equivalent is tantamount to it, it may be thought fit to add
to keep by way of keeping up appearances — "it would be very expedient"
viz: that that should be done which the
Law had" required to be done. Thus grounded the
Duke of Portland or his successor would go on and
instead of that which according to the inclination of his thoughts was so
done whatever appeared to him or to any of his friends to be expedient
whatever accord order to be done whatever, according to the same
of it inclination, were expedient — in the reason of it.
Whatever power
a servant of the Crown
may be allowed to
exercise over the
inexpedient laws of Parliament
do not let it not be
necessary for him that he should have to
cast off and abjure all
regard to truth and
homity to qualify himself
for the exercise of it.

James the 2d however
was a moderate man.
This at least is what I hope would be all the case,

the five grounds of relinquishment relinquishment exhibited by the succeeding letters, that would be still
worse still — that would be bad indeed: that would
be be corruptio pessimi — corruption worse corrupted. Yes my Lord if
we must have despotism tyranny let it b at least be a manly
open faced, stark naked despotism tyranny: not a despotism
made more not only odious but despicable as well as odious by the
transparent rags and conspicuous filth of a set
of pretences of frauds and falsehoods/of sham pleas and pretences such as those.

crimes at least be added

Despotism of itself is bad enough without its being stained
to truth and justice (as well not to/as to common sense) — and that
by treachery and falshood. Whatever they are to be suffered
