1822. July 4
Constitut. Code

In respect of moral character frame of mind widely different are the effects
which under a Monarch in a Monarchy are produced in the three professions.
The Soldier stands by himself. Between the Lawyer
and the Priest the analogy similarity of situation and consequently thence
of character frame of mind is natural close and intimate. In barbarous
governments in a stated with regarded or called semi-barbarous state they have been united
in the same person. In England the first Lawyers were
for a Priests were for a long time almost the only Lawyers. The
coif once the covering of the priestly now still an
ingredient in the composition of the masquerade dress with
which the Lawyer when placed in the Judicial Office, bears
evidence the primæval association to this day.

In the Mohametan religion, the Priest if not the only being
is at any rate the only Judge. In England under the practice instance
becomes daily more and more abundant in which priests are the subordinate
judicial function situation of the local Judge called Justice of the Peace is added
to the function performed or not performed of that Priest.

The Soldier stands by himself. In occasionally applying
force and being at all times in a state of preparation to apply it.
he does no more Force and intimidation the instruments he applies are in other
those without the eventual the application of which is necessary to the best government
could no more have existence than the worst.
Neither corruption nor delusion does it belong to his function province to
apply: neither of the one nor the other instrument is the application
expected at his hands: neither of the one nor of the
other is it natural or forgone for him to seek to apply: delusion
in particular is much more likely to find in him
a continuance than an approver a practicer.

In so far as for relief from their suffering mind of people can find a place
for hope. To the f the character of the state Selection and natural character of the Soldier is the only chief if not the only source that can be found for it. The great instrument of democratical government
the great support of the universal interest of the people against all particular and
thence sinister interests – the force of the popular or moral sanction
unapt brought into action by the Public Opinion Tribunal has
everywhere and at all times found far more sensibility to it in the breed
of the Soldier than in the breasts of either of those functionaries workmen who
work with delusion for their instrument tool.

Accordingly when on those great occasions on which against the oppressor by Monarchs, the interest of the
subjects has found effectual
supporters, Soldiers
have been so by
thousands, Lawyers
and Priests, only no
otherwise than by units.
