Fallacies

Ch. Fallacies of the Ins

Of the defender of
any existing institution
it being in the choice
to defend it by argument
by which abuse is not
and by do by which
it is protected, consequences
if he employs
these last —
1. Among existing institutions
there are
some in his own opinion
abusers.
2. To these it is his
determination to afford
protection.
3. Seeing them too
undeniably pernicious
to be avowedly
protected, he thus
protects them secretly.
Having it in his desire to employ such arguments
by which abuse is not protected protection is afforded to abuse or such others by
which it is protected no such protection is afforded — those by which it is not
such protection is not afforded being relevant to the
subject — those by which such protection is afforded being
essentially irrelevant — can any doubt being be said to —
are there not two three points which by the course thus taken choices thus made
are put pretty effectually compleatly out of doubt? [One is.]
1 that in the catalogue of existing institutions there
are some which in his own opinion belong to the
catalogue of abuses — 2 that seeing them to belong
to that catalogue his determination is not with standing
to afford to them such power protection as it may be
in the power of his exertions to afford — 3 and that
seeing them too palpably pernicious to be susceptible
of any direct plan of defence, he betakes himself to this
indirect one
