§ Opposition by Envy
&c
Meantime there exists a prize benefit for which this man like as well as
every other is a competitor benefit, this prize is general esteem is good repute
there exists at the same time a tribunal a judicatory,
before which the contention for this benefit is perpetually
carried on. This judicatory is the tribunal of the
popular or moral sanction: that the judicatory of which
every man who thinks fit desires to take a part in the business
as a member. Before Under this judicatory every
one whose endeavour it is by assertions alledged facts
or inferences from those facts to detract from the quantity
of public esteem bestowed upon the obnoxious person,
acts as informer: by him the conduct deportment and character
of every person whom he takes for the object of his
ity is represented in an unfavourable light:
the motives in particular the motives to the operation of whole to which his conduct is attributed, are
those least reputable the least honourable the least popular of any all of those by which such
his deportment is regarded as capable of having been
produced: and if in the motive considered in itself
there be nothing disreputable nothing objectionable, the
name by which it is mentioned and brought to view
is of that dyslogistic complection one of those dyslogistic appellations which for every
sort of motive the authors of language have in the language of every
nation provided in such abundance.

before which
whoever endeavours
to detract from the
public esteem
bestowed on the
obnoxious person
is informer, who
represents unfavourably
or motives
or calls the motive
by a dislogistic
name.
