"The King also can best collect the advice by which his
"resolution should be governed". Be it so: but the misfortune
is, that to the purpose in question, according to the
reverend Doctor's theory, let his Majesty coll: whatthe very best advice
he will possible, it is not in the nature of the case that
he should be much, if at all the better for it. According to thethis Doctors
theory, as there has been such frequent occasion to statebring to mind
the having the circumstances in which the propriety of the
exercise of the power in question in each instance
depends, are an indefinite number of inexpressibleindescribable
