§. 6. 5. Fifth power of policy. Corrupting the public morals – Debasing
the moral frame.

It is not every species modification of vice and delinquency criminality that
the law man of law has an interest in encouraging rendering, unless in
the score above mentioned, viz: that of encreasing the number of crimes and other
punishable, and thence prosecutable and defendible offences offences liable to be punished, and thence to be prosecuted and defended.

The vices which in the pursuit of the sinister ends of the profession
have received the greatest most efficient and most constant encouragement
from the man of law, are the vice opposite to veracity, and
the vice opposite to the law of justice. Finding it necessary
to his own purpose to make that he and for his own drinking a sort of as it were a diet drink , of both those poisoned
cups, it became equally necessary to him to lessen endeavour to mitigate the abhorrence
of those poisons in other minds. Intentionally or not intentionally Intend it or not intend it
, such in some degree could not but be the effect of his own practise.
Example is not only itself a precept, but in efficacy beyond all precepts.
Neither the nor the procuress can to any purpose
pretend to be more against the preach with severity against the breach of chastity.

Of the practices lines by which this policy has been pursued, or at
least that effect produced much remains not to be said here. Under
the heads of Fiction, and decisions on grounds foreign to the
merits, they have both been laid in their genuine proper colours before
the public eye.
