4. “… may there not, at that time of the election, certain rules be prescribed (I do not say conditions) for the better exercise of the sovereign power? And by accepting the power thus explained, doth not the sovereign… tacitly covenant that he will observe those rules? And if he does wilfully decline those rules, doth he not break the trust reposed in him? I do not say forfeit the trust, as if the sovereignty were at an end, but break that trust, violate that justice he should observe? If the sovereign power… should raise an imposition… if they should appoint this whole imposition to be paid only by those whose names are Thomas,… may not this inequality be called a violation of justice and a breach of trust, since it cannot be supposed that such an irregular authority was ever committed to any man or men by any deputation?”
