§.1. Exposition

II. Mode of support, say
indirect: vituperation.
Instrument of vituperation,
say the word
enemy.
Against abuse in
any of those shapes
suppose complaint
made and remedy
proposed: for support
to the abuse
say impute to the
proposer of the remedy
(parl. reform suppose)
the being an enemy
to Govern those several
powers — any or all
of them.
II. In the next and last place, the course you take is
suppose the indirect or vituperative.
Of this discourse course the description is extremely altogether simpler
The essence of it is consists in the word an apposite use of the word
enemy. When by As often as the adversary an objection is made to
abuse in any of these the above shapes, and for the removal of it
parliamentary reform or any other measure is
spoken of as necessary, you bring to view these several
objects of popular respect, and thence of rhetorical panegyric,
and say to him you any or all of them, and
inform him or [and others] for his [and their] information,
that he is respectively an enemy to them. Sir, you
are an enemy to Government, Sir, you are an enemy
to Law to the Laws. to the Constitution, to English Institutions — to
Social order, to the Forms by which it is maintained: —
and to crown all — (Sir (may infinite and everlasting
torment light upon you, as it will can not be sure to do!) you are an Enemy to Religion.

To crown all the
whole, you may
call him Jacobin
&c. See Ch. 1. Hob-
goblin-criers fallacy.
To crown all in addition to the above mentioned articles pieces
of information, or to save words in lieu of them — all or any
of them — you may inform him that he is a Jacobin.
See. Ch. 1. Fallacy 1. The Hob-goblin-crier's Fallacy.
