1. Mode of support say direct,
viz. laudation. Bad
arrangements to be thus
supported, say needless
wars, sinecures or need useless
or needless offices
or overpay of overpaid
do. For subject of
your laudation take
any or all the
powers by which are supported these
bad arrangements together
with necessary and
good ones: viz.
1. Government
2. Laws
3. Constitution.
4. English Institutions

7. Religion.

Constitution

Suppose for example you have to defend [groundless or needless wars]
sinecure or useless or needless or overpaid offices, lay or
ecclesiastical to defend, and this is among the fallacies
you employ in the defence of those abuses.

I In the first place, the course you take is suppose the
direct or and laudative.

1. The offices in question official cause or instrument
by which the offices have been instituted [or that that by which
they have been kept on foot and maintained] is a measure
of government. You accordingly pronounce an elogium a panegyric
on Government

2 It will seldom happen but that those works
of government called Laws have been employed to the
same purpose. Here then is another theme or subject
for your panegyric.

3 In the aggregate system of law in every this as in every other country, there
is one branch which has taken for its province the
deliniation of the powers possessed and exercised by the
ruling few, and the description of the sorts of persons by whom
those powers are possessed and exercised. Third theme This branch is
termed the Constitutional branch: the fruit of it, the Constitution. Third theme
for your panegyric, the Constitution.

4 Among the object objects in the creation or preservation
of which the Government, the Laws, and the Constitution
have been employed, are certain objects called Institutions.
The institution of a sinecure office, a useless office, a useless office, the institution of the overpay
of an overpaid office,
is an Institution.
Fourth object theme or subject for panegyric, Institutions
or for the purpose of calling in national prejudice to
the assistance of this fallacy, add the adjunct English — say English Institutions.
