Book of Church Reform. + +

Preface

7

But before you have done with insincerity, Good Sir,
forget not to look at the Houses or either of them the Hnble and
the Right or Most Hnble — Look at the Debates [+]
[+] Look and above all, look at the
fond adherence with which
the secrecy of suffrage
the capital instrument
in the manufactory of
insincerity is clung to!

and see whether
it be possible for men to have more f models of insincerity
than are there to be found: and whether to say if
learned and skilful Defenders of the Church of England further and so
that he is a proficient in the art and practice of insincerity
is saying any thing worse of him than that he is
a successful imitator of the practice of the most learned and
illustrious practitioners, Noble and Hnble, that, in either
of these exalted Assemblies are to be found. Thus stands the member
at present In But, when Reform comes, — the further it is
, the less will be the need, use, and demand for insincerity
in all sorts of subjects: and then with improvement, in the
field of politics, and in that of morals, go on hand in hand.

As to discernment — so far as regards discernment
sincerity out of the question, not inconsiderable is the interest we have in the reputation
of the learned Doctor:
for proportional to the
acuteness of that
discernment is the
probative force of the
evidence given by
him, as above, of
the uncontrovertibility
of every thing that in
the work in question
had been advanced
by Mr Bentham.

And now, Sir, should opportunity present itself such ask
Dr Southey, or at any rate be pleased to ask yourself, whether in
all this, any regard for the due to the character and feelings of the learned Doctor have
been wanting? And, in so dealing with him, far as we have so thus dealt with him, no
doubt do we make of our having the approbation of Mr
Bentham: for such to this effect has always on all occasions
been the language of Mr Bentham; whatsoever deviation from it
may have in these, have been made, by this or that one of
the disciples of his school: and of as to in Mr Bentham, (as is known
to every all men in proportion as he is known to them) — or say
that such is his language is to say that such are his opinions.
