1820 Apr. 23

or Despotism dangerous
(3)

I view in a man whose name it would be equally
needless and useless to name, a man who with a degree of
satisfaction proportioned to any service which I may be thought
to have rendered or to be eventually about to render to the cause
of reform, would behold me expire in torture

I view in the man, by whom a hirarchicaly seated
person has been instituted to the rejection of a universally
inspectable one a set of man, who with the like d complacency
would concurr in consigning one to a place in that
same uncomfortable prison for the purpose of my being
made to afford to them and their friends in the manner abovementioned
the gratification abovementioned.

I view in the ever pious vitalist, who after transporting in
all compasses the universally respectable person and clasping
the author to his bosom saying and with unbid protestations
saying in as many words Bentham I now will
you entered without warning given into a confederacy with
the supporters of the uninspectable prison for the purpose of
substituting it to the inspectable one, who under the guise
of a friend came with the purpose of an enemy and a destroyer
I view in this man who even the man who executed
in the prosecution of Carlisle — a man who with much
more complicity in the reading of this paper, lend to
us the time to read, in the midst of the prison of his design stand forth and be instant with
he will know Treasury that Treasury into which the
might the mark of his eloquence has been cast, be instant
in and one of reason with the Treasure to give
order to and with the Long robed laypreacher so recent order
for consigning me to the lions den

comes as to spy into the land
as to commit
me, and as Judas in
company with another and
well paid Judas to betray me
with and everything
that hopes to betray me

and who without
warning, or
pretence cast me shut his doors
unchanged and unoffending
into outer darkness

and who but t'other
day when the purpose
of
was heard to call
for it stood up and
declared — we are
all men among men
to Mr Bentham
