Not merely is the exercise of his petition power – not
merely is the public part of his life, but in the present part of
his life, the effect of his situation natural tendency not to say the continual effect
of his situation is to place it not at the top but at the bottom
of the scale of moral worth,⊞ ⊞ and this whether of influence of the self-regarding principle or that of the purely social principle namely sympathy, be considered. The kindness of a man to others
will natur By Of the purely self-regarding principle the more a man feels urgent
his the need a man feels himself to have of the kindness and
free good will of others, the more strenuous and steady will be his
exertion for obtaining it: the less the need the less strenuous.
The kindess and free good will and thence upon on occasion with
the good offices the services of others are where in so far as power
of remuneration is wanting no otherwise to be obtained than by
demonstration of the like kindness, in effect and in endeavour
a man's own part as towards them: the stronger a mans and
of the effective benevolence of others the stronger the individual
will which he has for the manifesting effective benevolence
as towards them: an inducement which in this way self regarding
prudence is sufficient suffices to afford: the less the need, the less
strong the inducement. But the Monarch is of all men the man
who by a vast amount has had need of the kindness and free good will and
free good offices and from service at the hands of others, of
the fruits of effective benevolence unmixt with those of self-regarding
prudence. For whatever it good things be that others are in other
situations men are indebted for to effective benevolence, it is in
his power to command partly in part by his punitive force power, in other part
by remuneration.

So the more extensively a man feels himself exposed to ill treatment
at the hands of others, the stronger is the inducement he has to bestow
upon them. Good treatment upon them, for the purpose of averting
from him the effects of such their ill-will: the less extensive the exposure,
the less the inducement. But the Monarch is of all men the one
who stands the least extensively exposed to ill will treatment at the
hands of others: he is in a more especially degree protected guarded against
it by his punitive branch of the power, and again by the remuneration, immensity of it the affections
and support considered which in the way of purchase, and with need of kindness
on their part, it puts him in a condition to command on every occas
occasion at the hands of others.
