J.B. to France against Peers
Letter II. against Peers.
(3)
§.6. Locator. King
40.
But where it has place the
probability of wrong decision
is as the number of the 1st
directly, in the second inversely.
41.
A majority in the 1st. Chamber
is not convertible into a
minority by addition of the
population of the 2nd to
if the whole number in the
1st. Chamber is 400 as if it were
but 4.
42
Objection VIII. Inoperativeness
to good. If capable
of being operative as to
good it would be in virtue
of its 1. composition – 2 its
locator or locators.
For its composition it
would depend on locators
or locator: These two questions
resolve themselves
into one.
44.
By the postulate most apt
for the choice of these
Agents and Trustees for
the care of their interests
are the locators of the
members of the first Chamber.
Thereupon so: for the
members of the 2d. But
in the supposition, as
above, results evil to an indefinite
amount certain:
good to an amount
continue possible.
45.
Objection IX Perniciousness
by
Established between the
two must be mutual relation.
In the present
state of jurisprudence considerable
are the chances
of ambiguous and dispute-preventing
nomography.

45 (contd.)
Authorities thus waging the
war of words almost in sport,
pierced through & through are
the individuals interested.
46
Objection X. Mischievousness
through complication.
In legislation whatsoever
is useless is pernicious. Usefulness
depends on cognoscibility.
By every word added
cognoscibility is diminished –
less the words (their aptitude
not taken into account)
the greater the number of
the seats of possible ambiguity
and obscurity.
47
Plausible the argument for
a 2nd. Chamber – security
against precipitation.
Null and dangerous because
as above precipitation will
be surely be excluded
by a 1st Chamber alone, or
by that under 2nd.
48.
Spanish proverb "De todas
las cosas seguras,
Remember what the Spanish
Philippes particularly the
2nd. suffered by it.
49
Excessive the value set on
this security by the weak,
pretended to be set on it
by the dishonest.
50.
In English Equity judicature
it forms the grand
place for precipitation –
Delay.

51.
As to Locators for this 2nd
Chamber Sole apt have been shewn
to be those of the Members
of the 1st Chamber. But
this cannot be proposed.
Sole mode of locatee proposable
Locator the King.
52
Speaking of the species species not
the individual, at its
maximum is inaptitude
in his case.
For what other functionary
but the King have the people's
Deputies to fear? On this occasion,
any thing to fear?
53,
From the species of sole
danger, sole fear: from
the individual great
comfort and hope.
54
Maximized is the oppositeness
of King's interest to the people's,
is own relations
&c excepted.
55
As every man's, so it is
his interest, desire, and endeavor
to have at his disposal
the greatest quantity
of possible of the objects of
desire &c.: and to give
effect to it more power
has he than any one
else.
56.
To will the end is to
will the necessary means.
To his detaining and retaining
those objects
of desire necessary is
it that he should have
at his disposal all service
necessary.
57.
To obtain these services
he will accordingly employ
all he can spare of those objects.
