Church (1)

Ch.6. of
§1. Abstract
p. viii


1
Such the
mischievous fruits
of the imposition,
what were the
motives of the
imposers? — what
the advantages
to themselves the
prospect of which
determined them.

Of the sort of imposition in question
such fruits - so mischievous the consequences -
what are the motives by the operation of which on
the minds of the authors imposers of the imposition the imposition
has been produced? In other words what are the advantages -
advantages to themselves - by the prospect
of which they have been determined.

2
The motives have
have been too powerful -
The advantages
too manifest.

These motives have been but too powerful: these
advantages but too manifest and incontestable.

3
From A who had
considered the subject
you get, not credence
but a false declaration
of credence.
But B C & D do not
know the falsity
of the declaration, &
thus the supposed
state of A's mind
influences their minds
& produces adoptive
belief.

From A by whom the subject has been considered
whose attention has applied itself to the subject, what you
get by the imposition is nothing more than not credence
but a false declaration of credence. But to of this
declaration to B, C and D the falsity is not known.
Upon A the effect produced by the proposition was
- not indigenous belief but indigenous disbelief. But
to in the eyes of B. C. and D who are not in the secret, this indige
by virtue of the declaration, false as it is, this indigenous
disbelief wears the characters presents the appearance of belief: and thereby
in virtue of the principle of mutation, by means of the
authority of A - by means of the influence which the
expression of the of understanding an understanding - by
means of the influence which the expression given
to the falsity supposed that of the understanding of A
exercise on the understandings of B. C and D, in the
minds of B. C. and D. a real credence is belief, though of the adoptive kind
only is produced.
