has never been as yet seen by any of them: and therefore it is that it is

is no such cry ever raised or attended to but by any but by
those who have already seen it?

you pay to a set of men under the notion of their inculcating

community poor as well as rich the correspondent burthen. Of all this
vast mass of the matter of wealth object of universal desire you
yourself yourselves have at your the desperate, they the immediate use you
received in the patronage. The loss of any part benefit

not in any belief on your part that that which you so cause to be
is time has any truth in it, is that in the as to it is in its being
imbibed there is in any use.
