the meaning of "corruption"
as applied to politics: not
to speak of morals.

II.1 3.
Corruption, political what –
an act by which or state
of things in which a functionary

int he habit of acting in
a manner opposite to his
duty – thus is a course
deviating from the path
of rectitude, by a cause
operating on his will.

II.2 4. Corruption 𝓧 Deception
– if on his understanding,
deception is the cause of aberration
from the path.
See §.7. Deterence

III.1 5. Instrument
Where, as above, through his
will, instruments of corruptive deception
are either good or evil,
good operating as eventual
reward – evil, as eventual
punishment.

Both, whether in a state of
possession or of expectancy.

III.3 7 Instrument
In expectancy, or say hope

greater than the

III.5 9. Instrument
Of the oversight effect and proof,
the undenominatedness of the
instrument in this case.

III. 6 10 Instrument

producible by fear of Exaction

a debt of £10 as well as by
a hope of the remission
of it.

2. Not necessary to the
production of the effect
is any determinate
agent or say corruptor
viz. either in view of
the patient or say corruption:

IV.2 12 Corruptor indeterminate
3. Or even in existence.

13. Corruptor indeterminate
By this indeterminativeness
the effective force of
the instrument is not
denominated diminished.

V.1 14. Instrument indeterminate
Not necessary is it that of
the matter of good or
evil the individuality
or even the species
should be determinate.

V.2. 15 Instrument indeterminate
Greatest view is
its efficient force when
indeterminate; being
seen through a magnifying
glass presented
by the imagination.

VI.1 10. Corruption for abuse
By good or evil, to relations
as to self, is corruption
effectible.

V.2. VI.2 17 Corruption for abuses
exemplification.
Corruption is producible
