Juries 3 Innate Defects interest and every malignant passion, range without
controul. In that this privileged and lawless independent precinct

3 2 in the article of exertion From p. The point of exertion is not less compleatly
abandoned than that of probity: — What habits
of exertion have they acquired? what inducements
do they possess? who will know whether
they exert themselves or no? Who will pay them
for their exertion? who will blame them to whose
censure will they be subjected to by the want of
it?

in intelligence. Here all superiority
is out of the question. Here with your eyes

difference you give up submitt to you purchase at the expence of a particular disadvantage of other points
of which hereafter.(a)
