Emancipation Spanish
§. Factitious Dignity
47 42 24.
By ruling few, rewards
for them to scramble for
are heaped up; then the
cry is – See what is to
be done by reward!
48 43 25.
English and French
armies opposite, Dukedom
in possession, or
expectancy, of the Commander
on each side,
if no drawn battle,
one must be victor.
Proof of conquest,
no more Dukedom in
eye than handkerchief
in pocket.

§. Factitious Dignity
49 44 26.
Of orders of knighthood,
origin matches the use.
Origin, vice. Early manufacturer,
if not inventor,
Edward 3d. At a ball,
garter of a married
woman, his first cousin,
for whom he had a
passion, on the ground.
Taking it up "Shame
(said he) to him who
thinks ill of this". What
ill, unless his hand had
been where it should
not be?
50 45 27.
Sober he must have
been when the remembrance
of this scene
was revived as often as
he gave a garter in token
of chief favouritism.
Insult to the husband
under shelter of
royal impunity.

§. Factitious Dignity
51 46 28.
Sole seat, Monarchy:
effects different in pure
and mixt do.
1. Under a pure do. mischief
none. By more
potent injuries engines,
mischief so great, no
room for more. Force
sufficient, corruption
needless: representatives
none, representatives to
corrupt none.
52 47. 29.
2. Under a mixt do.,
sole need: viz for corrupting
representatives by
engaging them to betray
their trust under a mixt do.
ruler's interest not being
less opposite to people's
than under a pure do.,
neither in this, nor in
any shape, is the matter
of corruption left unemployed.
