13
The sort of countenance
shewn on different occasions
to the same
practice — viz. falshood
and that aggravated
into perjury — according
as it is or is not
subservient to their interests,
constitutes as
effectual a test and
pledge of that abject
obsequiousness on
which their power
reputation and profit
depends.

The opinions and conduct of the governed

Falshood and in all its shapes and in particular
in that which is regarded as its most aggravated
shapes viz. perjury — [perjury and solemn] falshood
in respect by means of the opinions entertained and the conduct
observed by the governed those subject to power dominion in relation to it, constitutes forms affords
as effectual a test and as useful an exemplification [one of] the most effectual tests and useful exemplifications
of that blind and abject obsequiousness on the
continuance of which their power, their reputation, and together with
whatsoever profit is attached to it depends.

The problem is
so to order matters
that a practice which
when their interest is
not served by it is
left to be the object source
of punishment and
shame, shall when
their interest is served
by it be not only
protected against
shame and punishment
but made
matter of obligation

In this respect behalf The thing to be accomplished is that while
the mode of transgression in question, viz falshood, is left wherever it the effect is adverse to their
interest is sought for out for the purpose of punishment being punished
and wherever it the their interest is not advanced by
it, left at least to take its course chance in respect of
punishment, shall in every case so far as the effect of
it is conducive subservient to their interest should be protected
not only against punishment but against censure
and reproach and shame and not only protected, but the
practice of it made matter of obligation.
