Now as to the second part object of the case secondly mentioned
object of King Jame's's Policy — completion and perpetuation of
tyrannical despotism as to all matters in general by military
force without Parliament and through the abolition of Parliament
While Parliament is what it is — is and what in substance and effect
it is the wish and endeavour of every Whig, in so far as he
is a Whig to prevent it from ever ceasing to be, what inducement
can any Monarch by whom the throne of the long windedly
named Monarchy is or can be filled what inducement can he
have to govern without Parliament — understand all along without
that sort of Assembly which so unhappily for the people not only
calls itself, but finds them in sufficient numbers — in numbers
sufficient for its purposes still habituated and disposed to
call it by the name of Parliament? What inducement? What
motive accompanied with any tolerably adequate prospect of
corresponding success? What need can it he have of governing
by Military force without Parliament and through by means of the abolition
of Parliament so long as he actually governs with Military force
and by means of the only authority Instrument which with whatsoever impropriety
is called a Parliament with such a wall of defence
against opposition — with such a screen against every the
most justly merited reproach — nay with such so irresistible
and obsequious manageable an Instrument of oppression and depredation
what could he even wish for more. A greater Army? A greater
he has already than after the power of Taxation has been screwed
up to the utmost pitch of endurance he can find funds for.
