Their predecessors asserted the independency of Parliaments,and struggled hard against corruption,in former reigns.When the rest of mankind embrace the same principles,and pursue the same ends,shall they renounce one,and run Counter to the other?Shall they own themselves against one method of destroying our constitution,but for another?Against making kings independent on Parliaments by prerogative,but for making Parliaments dependent on kings by corruption?Shall they give the enemies of the Revolution a plausible pretence to say that nothing more was meant by them at least,than a change of government,in which they hoped to find their particular and party account?
