Mem. Mem. throughout

Mem. Not to make the virtue of the present Sovereign
a reason for not urging any further restraints that can be
devised (as in the Article of Pardon) or for taking of
any actually subsisting — since the principles here
laid down & upon which a System of Jurisprudence
ought to be founded, are not temporary and adapted
merely to the present situation of the age; & since
the virtue of the Prince would be an equal against
for the taking off all restraints
a Prince who feels his own virtue and means
never to do harm, would could not have any objection
to have the doing harm put effectually out of his
power: as an honest man in private life it is no restraint, it gives him no uneasiness: for it cannot give a man no uneasiness to have it put out of his power to do what he feels he has no inclination to do — if he fancies pretends he wants to have the power of doing all only to shew that he does not use it, he deceives others, tho' perhaps indeed he first deceives himself let him examine his own heart: it is odd, but he finds some lurking inclination to committ some convenient favoured effect of injustice, not commonly indeed, but at a pinch upon some equal provocation, or so = but it is only at those that there is any danger
