Reformists reviewed.

§. 2. Reformists classed
Example of a person
placed with doubt in
the antireformist
class he can change convert
the doubt into assurance
by becoming a decided
reformist
If for example, speaking of any individual we
it shall happen to us to say — we know not to what genus class or sort
or species to refer this individual — whether the reformist
or the anti-reformist — as though he appears in the character
of a reformist we suspect him of being an anti-reformist
in disguise what can be easier to him than
to convert our doubts into assurance in the first case
to wipe off our suspicions in the other? by disclosing
the by substituting to the anti-reformational
the correspondent reformational practices in a case of
intentions by substituting to the suspected anti reformational open and decided declarations of intentions
intentions declare upon di opposite to those which
we had been apprehensive of according to our apprehension of his harbouring.
So when an antireformist
under the mask of a
reformist
So again in case of suspicion of his being
under the mask of a reformist in reality an anti-reformist.
You the According to your conception of it meant
you I approved of such or such an existing abuse arrangement
no such thing. I disapprove of it. According to your examples
of the matter I disapprove of such or such a proposed residual
arrangement: no such thing I approve of it
If he be wronged by
being classed as an
antireformist he
cannot be more eager
than we to be set
right
Should there be any such person to whom he
being a sincere and thorough reformist we have done wrong by locating
him the class of ant-reformist, or in the order
of semi-reformist he cannot be more eager
to set us right than we shall be to be set right.
Being ourselves declared thorough-reformist, he will
on this occasion so that in it the claim we lay laying claim to the reputation of sincerity
on the occasion we do not make any very extravagant
draught decides over draught on his confidence.
