§.6. III. Eitherside fallacies

Eitherside fallacies
applicable
indifferently to the
defence of bad institutions,
or the
attack of good measures
§. Eitherside fallacies — their general nature.
The name of Eitherside Fallacies is a denomination
that may serve to characterize for the designation of all such
fallacies as are alike suitable suitable to both positions,
[viz.] that of the Ins, and that of the Outs: being
applicable at pleasure either to the in defence of some
abuse or imperfection of the existing system of
laws, government and administration or to the
or in some instances in the case of some of them to the defence of individual
misconduct and or transgression on the part of this or
that member of the government, or to the reprobation
of good good measures: principally of
new ones, i.e such as come to be proposed on the part of administration
— on the part of the Ins.

These are accordingly
as perfectly irrelevant
as those
of the Ins, more
so than those of
the Outs.
Being of this pleasant nature it will readily
enough be conceived of them in the way of anticipation,
and upon examination it will in relation to them
be evident, that they possess, all of them without
exception, and in the most most and firm and perfect degree the attribute
of irrelevancy: in which respect they agree
as hath been will be seen perfectly with the fallacies of the Ins,
and less perfectly with those of the Outs.
