Parly Reform Sinecures
I mean always unless and until it should
please his Majesty to grant to any person certain to wit by
name or other sufficient description the reversion of
or revision of the said respective high offices respectively to take effect from
and after the decease of the said great characters now
respectively in possession of the same. For them the
individuum vagum would be fixt and reduced to a
certainty: and the libel discourse imputation which before had remained
floating in the air, and for want of a fixt basis
to alight upon, had remained of an uncertain
complexion, would now by the application of the
seal to the patent grant or patent be drawn down
to land upon the individual thus fixed fixt and by
therewith convey to or receive from the same
that black black hue tinge of blackness which is of the essence
of the thing called libel: as like a bubble of
hydrosulphurous gas which after being discharged from
the retort may preserve its candour transparency for any length
of time, until in its meeting with a solution of
acetate of lead it attaches itself thereupon and by the unison of the two fluids a dark compound is produced.
