§. Ought it not?

Whatever it would be his pleasure to see done or not forborne
to be done — no: not exactly so: the species of doctrine mode of precepts
here in question has is frequently if not constantly
in a degree more or less considerable, the produce of
a still deeper-seated more deeply seated cause. This cause is the
advantage by the prospect of which, in whatever shape or shapes the author
was engaged to give utterance to such his discourse. In
the composition of this inducement the part played as above by the
love of ease can not in the nature of the case be other
than a secondary one: any this love of ease were it a
primary object, to attain it the way would be not
to write this thus glibly and laconically concisely, but not to write
at all.

On this occasion as on every other is the drawing drawing
from his labours advantage — personal advantage advantage to himself — in
whatsoever shape or shapes his situation in he occupies in life considered
affords him a prospect of being able to reap it: money,
reputation, situation, confirming office including both — or somethin jointly or severally.
By prospects such as these is the character cast and character and of his discourse
determined.

money reputation
&c

Severe he thus stands engaged to be at any rate
on the side of severity he stands beholds a his safe side
and the only one that is so.

Reputation he must make sure of at any
rate at any price: reputation has its value not only on
its own account, but on respect account of the proportionall profit — profit
by the sale of the work — of which it is pregnant: this in
certainty not to speak of situation in contingency.
