Sivu 102 - An alliance between church and state in a Christian commonwealth, is, in my opinion, an idle and a fanciful speculation.

These are the wicked Dissenters you ought to fear; these are the people against whom you ought to aim the shaft of the law ; these are the men, to whom, arrayed in all the terrors of government, I would say, you shall not degrade us into brutes...
Sivu 152 - I am accused, I am told abroad, of being a man of aristocratic principles. If by aristocracy they mean the peers, I have no vulgar admiration, nor any vulgar antipathy towards them ; I hold their order in cold and decent respect. I hold them to be of an absolute necessity in the Constitution ; but I think they are only good when kept within their proper bounds.
Sivu 431 - They disclaim, however, all desire of employing compulsory measures for that purpose, but recommended every mode of encouragement, and particularly by augmented wages, " in order " to induce manufacturers of wrought silk to " quit that branch, and take to the winding of
