Fallacies B.2 Pt. 8 Ch. 6 Sect 4
Ch. Cause and
§.3 Virtue Universities

If perjury and suborn. be these are the most impious of men:
others but occasionally these habitually.


Effect, and probable
object of their perjury-
-compelling system,
reducing men's minds
to that state of imbecillity,
in which any
repose
an implied
faith in the pretended
opinions governed by
the sinister interest
of these their treacherous
guides.

Thus, monitors have not mere negligence and
indifference for their cause: they have for their effect
at least if not for their object, they have the establishment of a disposition
of the most debasing and pernicious nature

12
Thus, being independent
of the good or evil
conduct of these their
rulers, their attachment
may secure
to them support against
all accusations
how just soever.

It is the interest of every despot, that of those of every man in
power, who has nothing but his power to trust to as a security
for use the habits of obedience by which it is constituted, has nothing but his power
to trust to but his
power — it is his
interest that of those
over whom his dominion
exercises itself

whom he holds under his yoke the understandings
may be in the remain for ever in the a state of the
utmost inbecillity and depravation possible: that
their notions of right and wrong being in a state
of the most perfect confusion, they may with the
most abject and unreflecting and undiscriminating
obsequiousness take the prof for the measure of their
obedience what is the pretended professed and pretended whatsoever is in pretense the
opinion and but in reality only the will,
as determined by the sinister interest of their rulers I
that thus whatsoever is practised the self-same
conduct shall be deemed held for right or for wrong
or for right according to the manner in which the interest
of these rulers is affected by it: that thus, their
attachment to their rulers being independent of the
good or ill conduct, of the good or ill desert on the part of
of those same such their rulers, may at all times on every occasion at all times
and in despite of any the justest accusations secure
to them the same effectual support.
