Radicalism not dangerous
8 8 § Bill of Rights abrogated
At the very time of the overthrow The last of the had 30,000 soldiers in his pay
but neither had he any part consideration of the people in his pay, nor
any sufficient part of their representatives, and instead of
the Clergy and promising them continuance and encrease of
their pay, he insulted was such folly them and made manifest his intention
of stopping them of it. The Revolution of 1688 was accordingly
against the King, and by the people herded and led by a majority of
the Clergy the majority of the Representatives of the people and even the Lords that the Revolution
of 1688 was effected.
But now under the fourth of the [ as if
he has any ] should any restoration of the rights
of the people effected it must be against the Monarch
against his Clergy, against the Lords against the self-stiled representatives
of the people that it must be effected: for all these
the vast majorities are either actually in his pay in what comes
to the same thing if it be now , actively and constantly
in expectation of it.
To every one of these authorities belongs an interest
distant from and opposite to the universal interest the interest
of the whole people: of the existence of their opposite and that corrupt secular
interest there is not one of them that is not fully
: on the of in conformity to the direction from that corrupt and sinister interest there
is not one of them that does not act: there is not one of them
that is not prepared to continue to act, so long as the
patience of the people shall continue.
At the time of the Revolution [as at the time of the preceding
civil wars] the was on part of the
four and another part of the , each <add>and<a/dd. in as
may as it could of the subject
