1. The object the accomplishment of which was the end towards which his enterprize was directed the object by the desired hope of which his enterprize was produced and to the accomplishment of which every step and every word of his was directed, was the acquiring and keeping himself (by force) the sovereignty of the nation to which he was born a subject. But this nation was already in subjection to a sovereign of its own. (This government ere the object could be accomplished it was necessary should be subverted.) But unless and until this government was destroyed this his object would not be accomplished: and [...?] it could not be otherwise than by instruments of the same sort as that by which it was supported: viz by one armed force, by war carried or begun and successfully carried on by means of that armed force.

Men and money—under one or other of these heads may be comprized the two things necessary as in the case of any other war, so in the instance of this.

Men and money including money’s worth —of himself he had neither the one nor the other: By what means could they to be procured?

Hope and fear—Go on with a paragraph beginning with this point[?]

1.

Object by desire and hope of which the enterprize was produced and directed, inquisitive of the sovereignty of the state of which he was born subject. The state having a government of its own, the object could not be accomplished but by the subversion of that government: an effect not producible but by the same means by which it was supported: viz an armed force.

2.

Men and money’s worth—both necessary. Nothing of either had he to begin with: How to procure them?

    Whether by force alone or by force seconded by the quantity of the matter of corruption already accumulated and waiting his disposal could the Monarch have given full effect to his particular interest without aid from Parliament and therefore /thence/ without Parliament the object of his wishes would have been fully accomplished; and whatsoever trouble might otherwise have been necessary to the accomplishment of the same object by means of that so naturally obsequious body saved. Not only trouble and difficulty but as the event more than once demonstrated risk /personal danger/ in no inconsiderable degree was attached to the enterprize. The Stuarts before successive Monarchs of that dynasty had the option of these two causes - the rapid but hazardous, and the slow but sure one/ From the first to the last of those four Reigns[?] the quantity of the matter of corruption in their hands notwithstanding the interruption which, during the twelve years inter regnum the power of disposal had undergone had continued on the encrease. For no less than seventeen years Charles the Second notwithstanding the enormous laud of Misrule which it had to support found it in a very high degree efficient.]

    Only in proportion as they were there in a state of concord and amity with relation to each other, could they be perfectly at his command, ready at all times, in such way as he should from time to time appoint, made serviceable to him in his enterprize.

    In the particular situation in which in respect of that enterprize and by means of it both he and they were placed, to the rendering such disposition as above in the highest degree subservient to it, no special restriction of any kind was either necessary or conducive. To himself it was impossible that attachment could be too strenuous or too reserved: towards one another it was impossible amity and concord so long as it was not inconsistent with that attachment, should be too strenuous, too warm and imperturbable, the determination on the part of each individual to make sacrifice of his individual interest to the interest of the whole community of which he was endeavouring to become the founder and the leader—too strenuous and inamiable. The scheme it is true, was in its own nature, a scheme of conquest: a scheme, to the success in which the determination to employ force, and all the infinite mass of evil comprized in the single word war would eventually and almost to a certainty [be] necessary: and therefore as towards opponents and adversaries no such charity could have been comprized in it: charity thus unlimited in the MS alt. ‘its’. extent of its application would have been incomparable with the ultimate and principal virtues Faith and Hope. Note in marginal opposite final sentence in text: ‘the means /mediating/ can’.

    '.5. People Sufferers

    Never were probable causes of quarrel so abundant: never were forces so disproportionate.

    1. Between /Even/ colony and colony /throughout all the colonies/ the causes of dissension and quarrel are endless: and in the instance of every such quarrel it would be the supposed duty and the inentable and necessary interest of the ruling country to interfere: interfere - not by kind persuasion, for that might be done without exercising dominion but by irresistible force.

    2. Not quite so immediately dangerous perhaps, but as in the above former case but still abundently dangerous, pregnant with new and unprecedented dangers, is by situation with relation to foreign states. To the rulers of England the despot and tyrant of the Ocean, the trade with the Spanish American dependencies was always an object of avowed concupiscence /desire[?]/ the dominion over them of not less operative concupiscence. In the year 174 \ZS\, war was made by by England against /upon/ Spain, because the Spanish rulers would not suffer the English smugglers to set the ordinances of the Spanish government at defiance. Of a supposed good which is unexperienced and unknown the desire is not naturally very intense. But to Englnad of late years the trade with these colonies, has in the instance of every one of them a subject of possession and enjoyment. If by the laws of the English are admitted to a participation of the trade with the Spanish Colonies upon equal terms with the Spaniard there is an end of one of the supposed profits however erroneosly supposed of the dominion coveted: if they are excluded, then comes /recommences/ the smuggling facilities[?] never before experienced. If in the midst of their distresses any thing could reconcile the people of England to a war it would be the hope of plunder /the profits of depredation/ of depredation exercised upon and at the expense of the Spanish American provinces.
