Dispensing power
I do not dispute my Lord, but that, in the
ideas and discourses writings written or spoken oral of Mr King
there may be a stock of genuine, undesigned affected confusion
sufficient for any purpose for which confusion may
be required. I do not dispute that that of the
Duke of Portland had ideas the so stock of confusion
in them might viz be equal to that expressed which
by Mr King reigns in Mr King's. All I mean to contend for, is
that is that whatever confusion may forward pervade in
the present letter is confused to the expressions to the expressions by
which the design is manifested – and that the design
itself is clear enough.
Thought and action and method and expression – all these
are already stated as properties faculties endowments not necessary to a duke of
Portland. All these were to be found for him secretly by Mr
Baldwin ostensibly by Mr King. But an endowment that for
is not to be dispensed with the want of which no dispensation can be obtained – even by
a duke of Portland, is instinct – I mean the instinct of the
species and the place to which he belongs: and this I do not mean to state as
wanting to the Duke. The Sheep is a gregarious animal
the Horse is a gregarious animal. A The placeman
is a gregarious animal, an Oppositionist. The would be placeman
or oppositionist is a gregarious animal – this instinct is common to
all the varieties of both species, from the highest to the lowest in
the seat of probity and evidence intelligence. Among gregarious animals
at least of the these higher classes one good turn commands another.
There sits, or at least stands, one of his Majesty's Horse Parliaments
under my solitary evidence:⊞ ⊞ I love to look at it, it is the only one of his Majesty's Parliaments, by which I have not been deserted and betrayed. The interest of each member has informed him of his duty. each scratches his neighbour that
he may be scratched: An insect had become troublesome to
Mr Pitt: a friendly scratch was wanting to remove the irritation
raised by it produced by its existence: the Duke was ready for this friendly the office: it
was the one he was not useful for among the dukes of his place.
