In this speech, Henry uses many examples of parallelism to effectively prove his point. One example is,"I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house." Basically, parellism is the repeated use of a grammatical structure. They are normally very easy to pick out.

Henry never used the phrase "consolidated government." This would have been an alien idea to him. What he knew was government run by Kings and he knew that kings have too much power.
