Ch. Prefat
(1) (2 §.
☞ In the next purported to ask
To a man What was so
reprisal to a man to whom the a reward
The rewards
boundless
:| Do | if they were left in the
.
But individually and collectively
they are objects of indefatigable eulogy

Objection 2. Such high
situations no fit objects
for obloquy
Men in the highest situation the country affords men
who tell now of late have been all of them vibrant excesses objects of utmost immoral
veneration reverence and admiration. There in page after pages
there in volume after volumes — that they should be droppt

a low one
Yes: to measurably and preponderantly beneficial
end every thing imaginable is not only endurable but
definable: yes: and the omission of it indefensible
And the regret of which these questions are the expression —
where is the reasonableness of it? What the cause of it
A by choice by the worst of whom not a thousandth part has

that all sympathy. Then are they seen to be sided with
and defended defended without staying to enquire why on what grounds? defended
for no other reason than because they are
attacked?
