§.8 Observations on the Duke's dispensing power

That there was not the smallest obligation on
him then to betray his own secret that the
whole business was a reason of self-contradiction
absurdity and confusion here too I am as
well convinced of as he or any body for him
could want to see me.

He might have kept on keeping the Gads
as full as he could them of convicts whom
the Parliament had bid him him to send elsewhere, if he
could but have kept his counsel, without saying
any thing about his Graces understanding, or the
"Acts". He might have kept on his
disprising power and his legislative power till as
in his head in one hand and a sceptre in his the other hand, laying
about him among the Acts. In a word He and his
most Noble principle shall be as near as to
mindness insanity as both or either of them please – so
long as the plea of insanity be not made use of to a purpose
so compleatly inappropriate, as that of enabling
a man to assume a person above the laws, or
him from the what ought to be the
consequences of such an attempt. enterprize.

The duke understands passing Acts any bill – or body
bills with no commissioners are of side. This is what
he should have contented himself – without pretending to question
by himself or with Mr King.
