SineCures
§. 9. 5. – Contribute to produce and prolong war.
What is worse, the eight or nine and thirty thousand
pounds by which merit is in this way rew rewarded at present on the person
of Lord, the Noble Lord Arden and in consequences by his Right Honorable Brother who
knows so well how to look at understands so well what belongs to milling crows, depends all
but a trifle, a trifle under £200 a year upon the continuance of the war:
so that upon all ordinary rules of calculation, so long as
the surveyor of the milling crows those useful articles continued in the character of
a chief adviser to survey majesty, it would be in vain to there could be no
chance for peace. To those who have the distinguished honour privilege to be
partakers of the private devotions and power orthodox
colloquies conversations of the allurers of popery, it might be clear
beyond doubt that that one mind forms an exception to
the general rule. But of this consideration, how satisfactory conclusive
soever to those the distinguished few on whom it operated, the force operation unfortunately
could not reasonably extend itself beyond those distinguished
few: so that admitting what I am sure have not the
slightest disposition to contest, the truth of the conviction on
the part of those distinguished persons, it would still remain
but too probable not to say too clear to all vulgar eyes,
that so far as depended upon this pair of noble brothers
and so long as the one of them had the honor of advising
his Majesty in the or the other the felicity of attending
Majesty on his rides, there would be no such thing as peace.
