☞ Relation between Corruptn & delusion not
before, but either with or after the
things themselves.

§. Incorporeal instruments of misrule continued. 1 Co
1. Corruption

Taken in its largest sense, the word corruption is employed
to denote the deterioration of the subject to which it is
applied – the rendering it worse than it was before
or would have been otherwise. Corruptio is in Latin
the breaking up: the breaking up of the texture of the
subject in question: it being understood that by such
breaking up it is rendered worse. In the first instance
the word was used in a physical sense, the breaking
up the texture of a mass of animal or vegetable matter:
by degrees from thence it comes to be used in a moral sense, the
breaking up for the worse the texture of the mind mental frame.

When the sense in which the word is used is the
physical sense, no more than one subject object is necessarily
brought to vi considered as having place in the operation:
namely the corruptible mass on which the change
has place: by another object in the character of a operating as a
ferment the change may be promoted: but no such
other exterior object is necessary to it.

Where the sense in which the word is used is
the moral sense, the idea of two objects at once
is commonly prescribed by it: the part prof in which
the one appears an active part: the part in which the
other appears, a passive part. The objects thus presented
to view are commonly persons. In this case what is presented
to view is an operation in which two persons are concerned: one,
an the agent in the operation corrupting the other, and thereby rendering
himself as the corruptor: the other, the patient in the operation, being
corrupted
