For this reason, to all prudent and pious statesmen
who have had abuses to defend whose duty it has been to defend abuse — abuses profitable to themselves
mischievous to the people but profitable to themselves — it
has been an object of solicitude, and to many of them
an object of endeavour, that an indiscriminate —
a sentiment of veneration, and that as indiscriminate
an one as possible, should as extensively as possible
be entertained for and towards all forms: for by such seeing that [~]
[~] forasmuch as the
worst form is still
a form
indiscriminate veneration of this or that form which considered
by itself, and unprotected by without the protection of this cloak might
have been too palpably plainly bad to be defended, might by
the blessing of God upon the use of this convenient and
prudential surtout prudentially fortunately provided surtout covering, be
rendered endurable.

In days of yore, when Gods and Goddesses could be
created at pleasure, a God or Goddess of Forms might in the
hand of a sagacious Statesman have been a serviceable
protectress: a Goddess to Numa for example, a visit
from the Goddess Morphe supposing that to be her name
might have been agreeable and convenient come in conveniently for the
settling of details, after the whose principles had been settled
with the Goddess Nymph Egeria. No small quantity
of filthy butchers work, in cutting up carcases and poring
over entrails, besides not to speak of pious imposture in such a multitude
of other shapes, might thus have been saved. But the
improvement was too good to be practicable: in those early days the times were not ripe for as yet
ripe for it.
