throne dated the 5 th of Decr r 1782, his said

most gracious Majesty, after declaring it to be “the fixed object of his heart to

make the general good and the true spirit of the Constitution the invariable rule of

his conduct”, speaking to and of this and the other House of Parliament, was pleased

to add an observation in the words following, viz:

“To ensure the full advantage of a government conducted on such principles, depends

on your temper, your wisdom, your disinterestedness, collectively and individually: and

moreover thereupon to say – My people expect these qualifications of you; and I call

for them.”

in those its steps, and obeying, as in duty bound that so solemnly delivered royal

call, this House is resolved by one great effort and sole /incontrovertible/

manifestation of disinterestedness – by one generous sacrifice of all separate and

particular interest, as well individual as collective, to declare, and it does hereby

declare }
