EXEMPTION ROYALTY

There is perhaps not but above one amongst those Acts which in another any man in the according to
ordinary current phraseology are called crimes, to which the condition of the temptation of Royalty in the
country, is with any probability of [succumbing] a yielding to it, sinking under it exposed.⊞ ⊞ The reader will readily conceive me to mean Adultery, [that of the invasion of another's bed. An incident of this kind⊞ ⊞ (respecting a person of any such rank as could entitle him, consistently comfortably agreeably with the current notions, to resort look regard it as an injury),
not having happened since the time era when that condition and the sentiments of the people
concerning it received their final settlement, is an experiment a trial which is or yet in reserve to which the suchpole
frame is yet remains to be subjected. – The virtue of the present Sovereign (a virtue of the instance
of which we shall never have an are not destined to have any no adequate conception, till we are taught by some
instance of the want of it, – a virtue the more estimable as examples too publicly
authenticated for the allusion to them to be indecent shew it that to be patronymical &
the more respectable, as a beauteous and abundant progeny prove it not to by
a the thankless quality product of constitutional necessity) secure as against the risk of it desiring
the continuance of a life which every [loyal] Englishman wishes longer than his
own.

I leave it to those whose notions of respect it may to complement
character at the expence of ther the [the pain due to] conspicuous merit in the person actually
invested with it, and prudence or foresight⊞ ⊞ to be studious of meeting d'aller a la remontre de [with] calamities unprovided and unprepared to think to argue away probable evil by
suppositions contrary to ordinary experience [& the knowledge of human nature]

And for the purpose of setting some guard upon an evil so natural, that
our emotions at the thought of never having felt it, surprize has no small inconsiderable share
along with veneration, I will take the liberty of suggesting to the consideration of
those whom it concerns whether [on this account in particular] it might not be of
use to erect give to Adultery into the legal character of a Crime, and give it giving it Accessories in the persons
of those who are assistant to its commission, having reason to believe the subsistence
of a matrimonial connection between the woman who is the subject of it, & the
man who is it's object?
