§18* Dominion supporting Fallacies
Creoles obsequious
Virtues no security
76 or 1.
Deliverer's virtues no
security:
especially if they persevere
in the design
of exercising this dominion
77. or 2.
Their virtues can not
be other than or greater
than those of our
Whigs.
78 or 3.
In denying their existence,
no need to speak
of individuals.
79 or 4.
By a ruler, temptation
not denied: virtue
to surmount it, asserted
80 or 5.
Disproof: each says —
In us, social regard
predominant; in the
adversary, self regard?
Of what each says
half and but half is
true.
81 or 6.
To the purpose in
question, not necessary
to prove self regard
universally predominant:
it suffices if so in
the great majority,
and to distinguish in
which not, is impossible.
82 or 7.
Sole evidence of any
social regard in public
men, their discourses:
but, without any
such assertion, it is as
easily professed as
with ever so much.

83 or 8.
No acts are ever performed
but may as naturally
and reasonably
be accounted for with
the supposition of the
utter absence of social
regard on a public
scale, as upon do. of
the highest.
