Had the good of the community – had either truth or
justice been really among the objects of regard to those
in whom the continuance and or the abolition of so preposterous
a state of things has all along depended, it is impossible
it should this long have had continuance.
But whatever in the exercise of the powers practice of government whatever there is
of imperfection is among the subterfuges to in which all
those who have any interest in misrule behold so
many values instruments of safety, so many of those subterfuges,
so many fifth clauses: so many strongholds which
all men who in their own purpose or those of their friends have been or hope to be delinquents cling to, cling to as closely as Cocks to bridge.

Sometimes it is the wording of ages that is the word,
sometimes privilege prerogative, sometimes prerogative privilege: every thing
is good that will pass current in so convenient an
occasion and for so convenient a purpose.

On the part of the King a right of prerogative consisting in the wasting public
money, on condition of using the language of a swindler,
and pretending to justify the by pretences known by
him to be false, justifying applying a sham justification to the abuse thus made of it.

in On the part of the least efficient branch
of the legislature legislative body component body of the legislature that on the part of that House
in the filling of which the people have no share, a
right to preclude exclude the most efficient branch, to exclude
the delegates of the people from the use of the money
understandably necessary to the securing the goodness of
the laws, to the securing the fitness conduciveness of the laws in
every instance to the several objects to which they are directed for their destined purposes!

Keep them excluded from the means necessary to the due
exercise of their functions? if this be right then so would it be
to keep them at excluded from the exercise of thus their
functions altogether. Here at any rate there would be consistency
whereas in the existing
state of things in this
mode there is neither
consistency nor common
sense.
