5 That in this state of things the interest of the Monarch is in opposition /opposite/ to the interest of those so called Borough mongers: and their aggregate interest opposite to his.

6. That moreover as to what regards the people at large, the interest of the Monarch if not identical with /agreeing /in agreement/ with/ that of the people in all its points, is so at any rate in this point viz in being adverse to that of the so-called Borough-mongers: for that so it is that by the Boroughmongers dominion is exercised not only over the people, but over him, and through /th/ him over the people and that it is by the /a/ dominion that /which/ they exercise over him that they exercise the dominion which they exercise over the people

7. That accordingly in the actual state of things it is the interest of the Monarch that to the dominion of the so called Borough mongers there should be an end: in so much that /for that/ if this same dominion were at an end, power possessed and exercised by the Monarch would be greater than the power possessed and exercised by him at present.

8. That whereas by the proposed system of radical reform the power /dominion/ of these so-called Borough minders would be put to an end, so it is that under the proposed system of radical reform the effective power possessed and exercised by the Monarch would be greater than the power possessed and exercised by him at present.
