resource of hypocritical corruptionists.

Whatsoever talent and whatsoever industry there is in that
situation being employed in keeping the matter covered by a veil as impenetrable as
possible no wonder that on many if it should escape from the observation
of most eyes if on many an occasion it should succeed in
hiding itself from most eyes.

Behold now an example of the mischief to the people from the imputing
error that the result of sinister interest. True cause of the excess is the like
Establishments, Kings sinister interest; erroneously supposed several causing erroneous supposition.

The several Rulers In the civilized communities
the Rulers why do the at so much such vast expence to their whose
subjects and thence to themselves do they persevere in straining
till they the cords of it are ready to burst their military force? the military
force in both elements. When was this wrong thing have done each
of them his utmost, there they will they be all of them with their
respective masses of force bearing one to another a certain proportion:
keeping thus the same proportion they might divide
each of them his force by the same divisor, say five, say
ten say a hundred, and the quotients being in the same
proportion, the security would on the part of each of them be

of for the gratification of vanity vying with the vanity of
every other: obvious and how ill any of those purposes would be served
by retrenchment would is sufficiently obvious.
