Sole first object expedient :
but this keeping
up disorder with its mischief
to rulers, as above.
hence came the
as unavoidable, however
the giving
partial relief to Catholics

Division over the as it was the most obvious means/instrument of so ever it the
first that way employed: so from/and at the very outset, was it employed but in the course of things the was <sic>supersedded<sic> the less pleasant of
as means the disorder with its mischiefs to the rulers as above was giving granting to one of the naturally opposed parties a partial
relief was superadded. the self sacrifice [the vengeance
sacrificing its gratification at the irresistible call of
self-regarding prudence.] To which of the two parties the
former relief should be , administered was not exposed to doubt. The
Protestants whose object was a parliamentary reform and
that a radical one were would not be expected to be pacified
with any thing less. But by parliamentary reform would
be to the power that be confederacy of monarchy and aristocracy
parliamentary reform would by the whole effect amount of
it be so much loss of power. But establishment of parliamentary
reform would be the surrender of so much power:
the a partial abdication which King George was no more disposed to
than King James was to that total one which he was
informed by the two Houses he had effected which he knew
not of his having effected till he was informed of it by
the P two Houses. By parliamentary reform power would have been lost then every body
the Monarch would
have lost power. Bythat had power who had power in his hands would have lost more or less of it by
Catholic any relief that was proposed to be given to the
Catholics he did but exercise it: power was exercised. the Monarch would lost more,
the Aristocracy lost would lose none: the Protestants were the party men
at whose expense the would be granted. by whom the expenses of it would be paid. By From no concession
to the Protestants reformists to the claims of the reformists could
gratit either in the shape of gratitude or any other could
much gratitude popularity be expected: by no benefit [except in so
far as willingly conferred] except under the nature of its being
the fruit of voluntary kindness perfectly free good will is can any such sentiment as gratitude
be produced: and <del. little must he know of mankind of the
nature of man, and in particular of men in that situation, little must he know to whom any such free goodwill
could present itself as possible.

In return, from protestants
no gratitude for
concession would be
expected: conscious
of right, they knew
that by fear alone it
would be granted.
