what had fallen from the noble Lord at the head of the
Council, itmuft he evident to every one of their Lord<

inadeq rte, and wretched fyflem, that rhe corn iffion of
the peace was filled by men, base to the la 2 degree, and
capable of every mean aft derogatory, and oppefik; to

in iu constitution, but bein^ ptrverfcdrn its ule, its L/v
merit became its miEhief, Inftad of applying it to the
general benefit of the kingdom, the Miihfcrs'of France
had applied it to the particular pelitic pur; ,fe s of tbeL
ftlves; tee) ! ao perverted it into an E/^orxare, a word,
which he thanked 'God, would pother admit of an Pn^
lifh interpretation; they had made it a iyAem of hoc.,
employed to watch ti e private dinners of i:ri;vrt,'ir[
