Constitutional Code

Preface —
Static functions

Fondness of pay and goodness of service go together
So with for . Vastness of pay and badness of service
No individual can have any pretence for taking affront: or to ask without exception
not to any one in particular is the eye of suspicion directed. Be the objector who he may, Of the well groundedness
of the suspicions is proof more conclusive could not be desired than his
aversion to the precautions
dictated by it.

On no supposition
can this distress be
open to a subject of just complaint
Whatever Be the mischief
which a man is prevented
