For this purpose not inconsiderable is the variety of phrases:
as common as any, and in the nature of which any soever fit
all is purity of motives. By this phrase what is meant
to be insinuated if anything it be any thus determinate is either that in the part the man takes
he has no regard whatsoever for his own personal interest or
any other narrower interest, or that if yet he has any, its force he is at
it gives way is entangled at all times by his regard for the national universal
or some still more extended extensive interests: This but preferably
such being the more direct and obvious impact of the words,
the utter compleat absence of every particle of self-regard. Of This purity
each Of this immaculate purity in its very purest form each man in the most peremptory
manner asserts the existence in his own instance,
to deny it or hesitate to admitt it you offer him an affront:
an affront the shame of which he perhaps not unfrequently
you to permitt him to walk away with your blood.
Of The same purity he expects calls upon you though perhaps in a
tone not quite so loud to admitt on the part of his colleagues
and supporters. Not unless even if under the smart of some
particular provocation or in pursuit of some particular
the arduous hope of some particularly advantageous thrust nor yet is he
always backward in the acknowledgement of the same purity in
the breasts of honourable gentlemen on the other side of the House.
By this means while the praise of good temper and conduct is obtained, and
the price for the purchase if the corresponding acknowledgement in his favour
on the other side is the price is then paid in advance.

In a government which maintains itself not otherwise than by
corruption No set of rulers are so corrupt but that it receives
this sort is in the habit of receiving acknowledgements of this sort to this effect
from its opponents. Nor are those acknowledgements inconsistent
with the rules of policy. For if the position were
all is impurity on their side, all is purity on our side, it
would be exposed to might be found to doubt of it
especially at those times in those instances in which the same man has been
alike busy some on the one side sometimes another the other, and in
that case the result might be that the existence if a comparison
of it continued always on one side never on the other, the
supposition of its non-existence
on either side,
might in some eyes be
the more rational one.
