Memento — the
account fair, the
influence of all the
co-operating sanctions
will be included in
it
In taking an account of this sort, if it be the
accountant's wish that it may be it be a fair one, one
memento may be not altogether unworthy of his notice:
which is that in the account of the effects produced
by the religious sanction in conjunction
with the others by which the conduct of men
is influenced, even the legal political or legal,
the popular or moral, the physical which is the basis their common
basis of them all, and the principle of sympathy or general benevolence+
+ See Introd.
and Dum:.
inquiry should be made what effects those
sanctions are separately or conjointly — those sanctions
are capable of producing of themselves.

For but starting the
idea of a fair account
on this most important
subject of account
sure as the
of all those who
while they purposely
avoid to take any account
keep declaring
the ballance of the
account which they
would never suffer
to be taken, and to
whom truth is odious
in proportion as it is
important, justice
their principles consisting
in refusing
evidence is
but upon
[For so much as starting venturing so much as to start the idea of a
fair account mode of accounting a fair plan — an honest and sincere
plan mode of discussion — on a question before the importance
of which that of every other vanishes [+]
[+] [purposely avoiding
at the same time to
take any such account in a
parenthesis
state the results declare the ballance of an
account which has
not been taken]
a man
should reckon as of course course upon the enmity of all those
to whom truth is odious in proportion as it is important,
and according to whose notions justice consists
in refusing to hear evidence or argument but on on any other than one side.
17 or 16. Religion apart, in every other question, hearing evidence and arguments upon both sides alike will be admitted to be the most promising
course for coming at the truth.
Be the case as it may on the chapter subject ground of religion,
it may perhaps be admitted, that on any other
ground this the mode of account-taking procedure insisted
upon by the fallacy maxim here in question, is not that which
bids the fairest for presenting a true ballance.
