Not Paul of the Press Ch Nine
6 Art Reasons
12
By no such
accusation
can the
suffering of
any functionary
as
such be
rendered greater
than the enjoyment
proof, his not
giving it up
13
All
of intolerable suffering
from such a
source are impossible
to be
they are virtual
confessions of inaptitude
14
To him who trumpets
forth his own
aptitude even though
it be but in respect
of probity if it be
without the endeavour
to destroy the liberty
in question the
proper answer is to
laugh: if with
11 continued in 12, never from any the most flagrant abuse
of the liberty in question can any preponderant power or evil
in any classes attach upon any person so situated. never
any power or evil evil greater than the pleasure or good
which be desirous in his own judgements be desirous from the
possession of such his situation: for if any such preponderant
evil deed attach upon him no recognized by him
as attaching upon such his situation one moment, the
next moment he would divest himself of it.
Upon the supposition of unimpeachable aptitude All complaints therefore of intolerable sufferance
under and can in consequence of any such accusation or imputation
are the more offences of hypercrisy, and impossible to
be the time: They are therefor so many virtual confessions
of inaptitude: of inaptitude in one shape or other,respect of one or other of the three aboveandin chains
if not in all classes.
When to in the character of a ground for the calling
either for the establishment of a law in restraint of the liberty
in question or for the execution of it if established, a man
has the affrontary to come forward whether it be in speech or writing
trumpeting forth the delicay of his sins of , producing
his own unmanliness and b
the exquisiteness of his morals sensibilities as a proof of it
the giving even the smallest to such assertions the
having them with any other than that of ind
is contempt in what every man of concern and reli
would should be ashamed of. This is exactly the very cause
that be takenwhether to men who were guilty and not only guilty but
so palpably so that any attempt at a defence would be
altogether hopeless: would be -why? because because by the very
sup every other
would be hopeless:
and men are but low
great numbers are
unhappily can yet be
yet th be found who are apathy of made deeper by such hypocracy, are yet to be found at this time of day
That the employing of the only sense
of guilt should be taken for a proof
of convenience?
