Fallacies Ch. Generalia ad idem

§. 3. Cause of Prevalence

2

Good men are prevented by this from applying the powers
of bad ones to good purposes

Jesus did he not frequent publicans & sinners?

57 or 53 or 4
In the propensity on
the part of receiving minds
to yield to the persuasive
force of these fallacies
has much of the disadvantage
under which all
plans of improvement
labour

In the propensity a too generally prevailing propensity
to attribute ascribe to this the evidences of this class too high a degree
of probative force beyond what properly belongs to it
may be seen the source of no inconsiderable disadvantage
under which those whose object aim it is to promote improvements the cause
of reformation in general have to labour.

58 or 54 or 5
As no improvement
in legislation and government
can be made
but at the expence of
the sinister interest of
the King and his
subordinates, thereby
depriving them of
so much of their power
of misrule, advantage
is taken of this
to represent all promoters
of improvement
as enemies
to Kingly power altogether,
and thence
to the Constitution of
which it makes a
part.

In many parts of the field of government and legislation nothing is more
common those whose plans are of the most pernicious
and those whose plans are of the most salutary tendency
will frequently have for no inconsiderable part of their
way to travel in the same road.

Any design to republicanize the British Constitution let it
for example be admitted to be a bad and pernicious design one
and let the name of Whig be given to him whose regarding must make use of Republican
the power of the King an exception sent to limit it.

Those who would
take away the whole
and those who would
take away any the
smallest part
