12 Why Statesmen affect secresy Motives for which wishing to keep past transactions
secret are either 1. a consciousness of guilt: or 2.
the desire of giving ones self airs of importance, upon
the strength of a monopoly of intelligence: by which
means of which a man fool can give himself the advantage
over a wise man. It is on these accounts the interest of courtiers
to keep things secret: but the interest of the sovereign
in these points is quite contrary: much more the interest of the people.

The sovereign is above such arts: he stands in
no need of them to make himself respectable respected. His
interest is that every thing that is done by his servants should
be placed in the broadest day light possible. It is by that means only that he can place them under the controul of the moral sanction.
