Hence the need of distant dependencies and wars: the more of these drains, the greater the numbers and the profit of these places: the greater the number and the profit of these places they greater the facility of adding to the numbers and efficiency /exhaustiveness/ of these drains. Hence in the arithmetic of state policy the contacting[?] repetised[?] and circulate: places beget wars wars beget places: to places succeed wars and to wars places, the foreign dependencies without a single exception universal[?] known to be productive of not less, and yet acquired and retained on the pretence of profit
Hence to put a few hundred thousands into his pocket purse the Monarch is by himself invited, and by his purchased accomplice suffered to turn pirate. Hence we have Admiralty Court Judges and Admiralty Court Clerks who to put thousands of pounds into their own by taking millions out of the pocket of […?] men in this and other countries. Hence under the name of Auditors and Pelles of the Exchequer we have a set of men whose profit has kept a still more exact proportion with the public expenditure this taxing with the public money. Hence we have a man whose profits in the situation of Chancellor and as such Judge in matters of Bankruptcy rise in proportion to the distress which by the dispatch he can contrive to give to waste[?] in his character of leading member of one of the branches of the sovereignty he can contrive to give to waste[?] Hence we have a man who in the situation of Chief Justice by giving encrease to factitious delay, vexation and expence in judicial procedure and with it to denial of justice, can continue to put into his pocket in the shape of fees a mass of emolument which in the shape of salary shares[?] or fees would keep /prevent/ his confederates from indulging his will.

Taking up in a chain of causes and effects an ulterior myth[?], think of the provision to be made for the maintenance of the several Elements of splendor above enumerated. Settled now the necessary provision to be made of as well as for Wars and distant dependencies. No matter which you take first: each begets the other: the only difference is that wars do not quite so surely beget distant dependencies as distant Dependencies beget War: and that the procreative faculty which by distant dependencies is exercised only in driblets, is exercised by war in a full tide. For the better securing the requisite quantity of War, determined now in what shape and quantity a lot of Maritime rights is to be allotted to these at present kingless and Bishopless and in so disastrous a sense, peerless States. Note ( ) Green wax means fines and forfeitures. If the prince Regent was not cheated M r Cobbets fine of £1,000 found its way into the Princes Pocket. This is one use of Libel Law and Prosecutions.
