But it was necessary to gain over the Jacobite section in England, in order to secure a strong position at Anne's death. It was also politic, seeing how impossible it was to penetrate into the future. That he had intrigued with the Pretender is un- doubted ; but who had not ? Godolphin, Marlborough, Oxford, Jersey, all were tarred with the same brush. Bolingbroke, like most of the politicians of the day, ne- gotiated with both the Elector and the Pretender. The unmistakable preference of George... for the Whigs tended undoubtedly to incline the Ministers to weigh seriously the chances of the Pretender ; but Bolingbroke's immediate object was, by consolidating the Tory party, to command the situation on the Queen's death. The Tory Govern- ment would then be ready for any contingency. If, con- trary to expectation, the nation declared for James Edward, or if the Act of Settlement was upheld and George suc- ceeded, the Tories would be strong enough to secure an arrangement favourable to their party.
