Thus by this state of things are proved at once h two capital
points; the undangerousness of medient reform even by universal suffrage and to speak plainly the insincerity
of them also for the maintenance of that particular interest of
theirs which is opposite to the universal interest, in hostility/by which pleasure placed in a state of hostility to have all along
been pretending to regard it not merely as dangerous, but as
certainly ruinous.

(1)

If the English and Scotch in the character of universal
suffrage men, the distressed lower orders men in England and
Scotland were now in arms, and associated as the
Irish do were, I should universal suffrage men calling for
universal suffrage and succeeding I sh the higher orders
comporting themselves now as then, I should have no apprehension
of any more disturbance now than with place
those born without chiefs, and half-famished they now in bodies vastly
larger than ever there and then and still there is no disturbance.
then [But suppose the triumvirate when the Whigs oppose
and envy suppose them on the supposed occasion going in as
they therefore have wont, the Whigs half opposing half concurring
then causes a Scan would come a state of things of which there is no precedent of for which no one therefor could
take upon him to concur and in which the very worst that
England Englishmen are capable of would be upon the cards.

§5 Posit Why

or 22 or 10
If now in England
as then in Ireland
under commanders
elected by themselves
I can't see the
lower orders calling
for universal suffrage
I should not fear
more disturbance
now than had place
then. In larger bodies
now and here
than then and there
they meet and half-famished,
and still
there is no disturbance.

or 23 or 11
But suppose the triumvirate
here going
on as wont Whigs
half-opposing half
supporting, behold a
state of things under
which the worst that
Englishmen are capable
of is on the cards

or24 or 12
Thus are shown together
1. the undangerousness
of reform, with universal
suffrage, and the insincerity
of those who profess to believe
it
