All the abuses of which it the technical system is comprized
may be referred to sinister interest as their primæval cause.
Either to in that or to in imbecillity they are referable as to their
immediate cause. But those which have where they have imbecillity for their
immediate, even there they have sinister interest for their more primæval
distinct superior cause: what a man never seeks or wonder if he it
never finds never happens to have to find. Whence came the effusions of their imbecillity,
their absurdities? from the habit of never looking to the ends
any thing rather than to the ends of justice. They never look to
them: why? because they have no interest in seeing them. The
interest they have is in the not seeing them: because if shown
to an emotion capable of maintaining a place anywhere in their
bosom, they can never behold see them without shame.

Why is nonsense ever in their mouth? because it is
their interest to talk nonsense, to talk as gross nonsense and
as much of it as ean can be made to swallow: it is by nonsense
that they succeed in confounding and subjugating leading captive the
understandings of mankind.

Why do they so delight in lies? – in lies of their own framing they behold the
instruments suits without which they would never have been able to
do half their work the business that they have done.

Where imbecillity has been the cause. Where the production Where in the case of an absurd arrangement, hostile to the ends
of justice, imbeci the production of it has had imbecillity for its
cause, the continuance of it has had sinister interest for its cause.
Quod fieri non debuit factum valet. A man will defend many in a
thing which he would not have originated. To originate establish imparts responsibility:
to defend what is already established, none.
