Dispensing power

But says Your Lordship you who have seen
what is every body has seen the uniform approbation
which at the time of the letter you are so angry with
and throughout the whole of the time employ'd by the Duke of
Portland in that office, was bestowed by Parliament upon
all the measures of that administration of in which in that
office he bore a part, can you really suppose that in respect
of the course system you complain of his coming or not coming
to Parliament can have made any real difference?

My Lord – as to the general question what can
be done – and what can not be done – by Ministers
through Parliament – it would be a strange presumption
in a man like me to pretend to have any
thing new to offer worth hearing to Your Lordship on that head.
To Your Lordship, Parliament is as the nursery in
which you were tried: to me, it is like the Court
of Soloman in all its glory to the child who is peeps
admitted to a peep at it through a the shew-box magnifying
glass of a shew-box. But as to the particular circumstances of
this individual case, my particular position my lot has been presented me with
a degree mass of information, which such as I neither wish
nor expect to see shared by a noble person
whose fraud on the disgraceful occasion (not
to speak of safety) will be placed, I am
on the having preserved the purity of his ignorance
will I am confident be placed in the having maintained preserved
inviolate the purity of ignorance.
