This money - this object of continual and ever insatiable desire, the Monarch can never obtain it without the Representatives of the people nor the Representatives of the people without the Monarch: he and they will thus be perpetually linked together in a sort of partnership a community of sinister interest

The Monarch as such will have at his disposal with exceptions to a comparatively small amount, all the masses of money, and power with or without those of factitious dignity which are attached to the several public offices and public functions by the exercise of which the powers of government are exercised. As the magnitude of his power is in the direct ratio of the aggregate value of these several offices and functions, it will be among the objects of his endeavour to give every practical encrease to the number of them and to the value of each: including of course the preserving it from decrease

The Representatives of the people will on their parts be desirous in like manner each of them to give unbounded encrease to his own felicity by obtaining /getting into his/ to the largest amount in respect of value these and all other instruments of it

The Monarch for the purpose of satisfying such his desires will at all times be in readiness to impart to these several Representatives of the people or at any rate to a sufficient number of them these same objects of general desire

The Representatives of the people on their parts will in like manner be at all times in readiness each of them to receive at the hands of the Monarch to the greatest amount obtainable these same objects of desire: to receive whether by their own hands or by the hands of others whose interest in that respect is identified or linked with theirs makes to the purpose in question no material difference
