Sect. Relinquishmt honorable
§. relinquishment

67 or 1.
Proposal Let the Commissioners,
instead of summoning
them to servitude,
declare their independence

§ 4. Relinquishment honorable

1 68. or 2.
Expected fruits of the
dominion, if money not
haveable; if power not
but at a loss: viz vast to
the subject many with
but small gain to ruling
few
: trade more without
than with the dominion.
By renouncing the dominion,
Glory of unexampled
parity: the glory of
political continence: (of
ascetic, though not so
much practiced as vowed,
quite enough) not
stale and vulgar &c. but
pre, fresh, bright, transcendental.

2. 69 or 3.
Keep striving to exercise
dominion over them, their
object will be to be as
unlike to you as possible.
Cease the contest, you
have them for imitator:
Creolia will be to you
what Naples is, receiving
from you Constitution
and Laws. It will be
more: having in common
with you, language,
laws, customs.

3 70 or 4.
An In honour, be Naples
a lesson. Thence, in infancy
you have reaped
a harvest of unexampled
of the only pure glory.
From you this foreign
nation, without
prejudice to Independence,
has taken those
laws on which all others
depend for their existence.
In genuine dignity, from
the last you are become
first. You have given laws
not by threatening terrible
effects, &c. but by persuasion
imbibed from your works.
This glory from Naples cost you
nothing: like glory from Creolia
will save you immense expence.

folly, inaptitude moral
and intellectual by rulers
in Monarchies.
Honor – Glory – Rulers of the war.

5. or 2
In U.S. under Representative
Democracy, not:
Dissolved are the mischievous
associations
there: lost the poison of
his teeth, viper remains
a harmless snake.

6. or 3.
Assertion couched in
these words. On condition
of employing these
words, I claim a right
of keeping my countrymen
plunged in servitude and war.

7. or 4.
Cut throat he who reconciles
men to war employs
these
viz not of units but
of millions: to him,
ordinary cut throat
a man of virtue.

8 or 5.
To have place in other
State's esteem – would it
be useful or agreeable
to you? by self regarding
prudence or benevolence,
are you induced
to wish it?
Think then what, if
you reject this advice
can be your chance for
having it.
Give eyes to partial as
JB's, your conduct is repugnant
to probity and
prudence, what can it be
