§.2. Improper Office Mode
Of this unison Of the combination thus formed of arrogance, indolence and ignorance
{sufficient} exemplification and sufficient evidence will
be found contained in the compass of a single word.
This word is the word ought: to which will be to be
added, according to the nature of the acts to which it
is applied, the opposite singular expression ought not.
"Ought" — the word
in evidence of
arrogance, indolence
and ignorance
You ought to do so act this way — you ought not to do so to act that other way.
To execute in this way the office of moralist requires
nothing but a the repetition of these two formulaics expressions, coupled
with the description of the species of actions which
it is or is pretended to be the will of the writer to be performed or not exercised or not exercised
performed.
These words — if for one this for this one purpose the use of them
may be allowed, — ought to be banished from the vocabulary
of Morals Ethics.
