The conduct of the Regicide faction is perfectly systematic in every particular, and it appears absurd only as it is strange and uncouth, not as it has an application to the ends and objects of their policy.
Burke critiques the systematic nature of the Regicide faction's actions, highlighting their absurdity and underlying policy objectives.

More from Edmund Burke
Their trust for the future preservation of the Constitution was not in future revolutions.
But the course of succession is the healthy habit of the British Constitution.
Their objects would be enlarged with their elevation; but their disposition, and habits, and mode of accomplishing their designs must remain the same.
This is the spirit of our Constitution, not only in its settled course, but in all its revolutions.
