    Dignity of the Crown. Dignity of the Peerage of the Judges.

    Thus it has been seen all of it so much […?] evil is this factitious dignity when it stands alone. But there are cases there are and those but too numerous and too important where it is deemed incapable of standing alone: incapable of maintaining itself without support: without the support of money: money the produce of taxes - money wrung for this purely pernicious purpose from the necessities of the people.

    The case first in eminence - the case preeminent in mischief is that of the Crown. Without money coming from the people, money in that vast quantity which every body sees and feels, the dignity of the crown the dignity of the Monarch the dignity of that one individual could not be supported. And suppose it {were} not supported - suppose it fallen to the ground - in what assignable particular would the condition of the people be the worse? This is what remains to be proved: this is what never has been proved - this is what never has been attempted to be proved - this is what never will be never can be proved.

    Factitious dignity

    {Look /Apply it/ to the […?] of Gods word.} Look to these Lords Spiritual. Look to these receptacles of the Holy Holy Ghost who began /after having begun/ with being filled with that unviable[?] and imponderable and inconceivable gas, and the elect among them with being possessed /the possessor/ of a widow’s course[?], from /out of/ which they produce on the part of a number of others withal […?] in equally sufficient plenitude.

    Look to these sacred /holy/ receptacles of the Holy Ghost who after declaring themselves so to be, burn /are eager/ to cry blasphemy against and bring destruction upon the audacious miscreant who shall have dared to tell them so, to bring it to their remembrance.

    Look to these fleshly /carnal/ receptacles of spiritual gas see the quantity of factitious dignity which along with it has been injected into their sacred bosoms see the quantity of the manner of unrighteousness[?] which has been injected along with it for the support of all that dignity and the piety which so neverfailingly accompanies it /so inseparably adheres to it/: look to the fine linens into[?] which they are clothed /arrayed/ with & the purple in which their very servants are arrayed look to the sumptuous fees which every[?] beclothes[?] /lends/ their titles look to the thrones on which some of them sit look to the palaces which all of them inhabit all for the purpose of shewing what Christian humility is not only by precept but by practice. Look[?] at the quality of faith which they all possess look at the quality of hope which most of them possess /entertain/, virtues by the exuberance[?] of which the desired charity the last and lowest of these virtues is so well understood to be superaded[?].

    [Marginal insertion:] who are not to be satisfied unless the facts of the affection[?] be taken for true and for false by the same man at the same time true for the purpose of its being believed, false for the purpose of punishing the man /wretch/ when […?] and audacity has dared to bring it to remembrance.
