"However" (concludes the Reverend Doctor" "there seems to be
"less of the concurrence of separate judgments in the same
"conclusion; consequently less assurance that the conclusion
"is founded on reasons of apparent truth and justice
"than if the decision were left to a plurality, or to some
"certain majority of views." So that after all, according
to the Reverend Doctor himself, this supposed advantage
of his own starting comes to nothing: and so the
cloud which the raising of which has furnished occupation
to a whole page ends after all in smoke: and so
the student after pouring over it, to discover in hopes of digging out the deep wisdom
which of course it will be presumed to contain as somewhat
the
less were than</del> the student unless it has
happened to him to bring to the task work faculties
sufficient to supersede the use need of it, will be or find himself somewhat
in less wise than he would have been if he had not
meddled with it.

"Less of the concurrence of separate judgements" – from
this it looks as if the Reverend Doctor a sort of
indistinct conception suspicion or the inducements of an approach a conception and had presented itself to the Reverend Doctor's mind – a conception the suspicion at least, that
the influence which it a tendency of the torture to exercise, was is not the
influence of understanding over understanding, but one the
sort of influence which is
influence adverse to it.
