clear conception of the causes whatever they are of whatever there
is that is good in it: to see understand clearly in what are the causes
of that degree what in the distribution of the powers place of which the government
is composed, or what are the causes is the cause of that degree
of happiness or say prosperity, which whatever it may is enjoyed under it:
to understand what are those causes, which is what can not have be
place but in proportion as a man is able to distinguish
them in the first place as with uninfluencing circumstances,
as in the next place from obstacles: from circumstances
by which no contribution is made towards the quantity of
prosperity considered as an the effect, and from circumstances which
which though they have not [been able to prevent] prevented the quan
effect from being what it is, have had in their nature a tendency
to diminish if not altogether destroy the effect that same effect, and
may perh a tendency which perhaps may have so far operated
as to prevent the quantity from being so great, as it would have
been otherwise.
