In Wilberforces Speech, Times 20 June 1810.

These general irrelevant may have been called forth and
justified by complaint too general to be relevant

8
In Times 20 June
1810 Wilberforce
represented as
preaching such
vicarious relief —
J. B. sorry if representation
true

If ever the good Samaritan had a successor in this
country it is . . . . aye who is it? — it is one of
those men whom physicians of the body politic to whom in the character of a
preservative against convulsions, the newspapers
have on a late occasion represented as employing
his talents in recommending to us the use of this
fallacious pernicious opiate this vicarious remedy. Let me I console
myself as well as I can with the reflection that this
is among it is of the number of occasions on which these
arbiters of political reputation have treated him with
injustice.

9
For the lawyer
-caused sufferings
of individuals
raised by law
as well as for
of law J. B. can
not be consoled by
the enjoyments of
Lawyers.

[While day by day I see behold the sharper swindler and the oppressor extortioner
gorged loaden with the spoils of those whom they have found or
rendered poor and needy, while lawyers of all sorts and sizes by
whose craft devices the prey has been delivered into their hands
sharing with them lawyers of all sorts and sizes putting arms into their hands undisturbed] [and receiving payment
for arms sold and delivered;] [+]
[+] nine tenths, or
ninety nine hundredths
of this ruin the wish of
vicarious art; a minute
portion only, just sufficient
for a pretense, the
wish of unkind inexorable
necessity and
uncontrollable Nature.

10
Fret not thyself
at the prosperity
of the ungodly, a
song J. B. could
never join in.

it is not the the spectacle of comforts I see enjoyed by the evil doers of either the
learned or unlearned that can reconcile to my feelings render me insensible to
render invisible to my eyes the torments endured by
their respective victims. Fret not thyself at the prosperity
of the ungodly is a song which holy David may still might say
sing to me to me till he were hoarse [no consolation would by my
ears be received from it.] the spectacle is one of those
which I can never see before me, and be at peace]

As if A's health were a reason why B should
not be cured — be the disorder what it will, in the character for just such the
will never pass upon men in any other better character than that of
a fallacy it will never pass upon be regarded men poison itself to my view
