Distinction 1. Corruption designed or say by design: corruption undesigned or say without design.

In regard to corruption – the first grand distinction
the first in the order of importance and therefore thence in the order of
place is the distinction between that which is that between what is undesigned and what is
designed and what is undesigned. By undesigned
understand no that which is always produced made to have place without
design but that which is capable of taking having place without
design, not that which is not ever in any instance the result of design:
for of that which is capable of having place without design
there is not any portion which is but what is not altogether
capable of having place with and by design, but abundantly in the
habit of being produced.

Suppose the creation of it the work of chance: nothing
is more natural than that the preservation of it shall be the
work of design. A The weed springs up of itself: the a husbandman
sees it, thinks it may perhaps serve for food, finds it palatable
gathers the seed, sows it, and cultivates it and propagates it.

This distinction is first in the order of importance
The corruption corruptive influence by which in the case of bribery an Elector of a Representative
of the people in a mixt Monarchy is engaged to give his
vote in favour of a Candidate by whom or by whose agent
money is given for it on the part of the Candidate is the work of design: The corruption on the other part
the corrupt obsequiousness is accompanied with a consciousness of the ⊞ ⊞ texture of the corrupting inducement to which it is indebted for its existence. The corruption
by which in consequence of the Representative continues to give perseveres in giving in favour support of the
measures of the Monarch in that same Monarchy for a course of years notwithstanding
the any depredation and oppression of which these same measures
are all the time productive may in his by possibility be produced on
the one part without any such design, and on the other part without
any such self criminating consciousness. The Monarch in his quality of Chief Executive
functionary must have subordinates in the several situations and as seems to him worth
large masses of emolument attached to them: the Representative
seeing that the situation with their functions must have
place and thinking that some such large masses of emolument
attached to them must have place, thinks of those good things the
possession and enjoyment may as well be in his hands as in any others.
