Constitut. Code
In general, in the composition of a mass of mass of
the matter of corruption or any corruptive influence operating
as an instrument of misrule, the matter of good is regarded
as being the sole ingredient. It is so to no inconsiderable
an extent. But to a considerable and probably even
greater extent the matter of good and the matter of evil
are in one no shape way or other employed in the composition
of the instrument: the matter of good operating as an inducement
of the alluring kind the matter of evil operating
as an inducement of the intimidative or say coercive kind.
For let us Seem in an example a mixt is limited Monarchy.
Enter the following distinguishable cases.
Case 1 In a limited or say mixt Monarchy, the Monarch
gives a representative of the people to understand that if he
will continue giving vote, or and occasionally vote and speech for
such or such a number of years in a manner satisfactory to the Monarch, he shall at the end of the time
half a place worth so much a year for life. In this case
the instrument of corruption and thence of misrule is of the
of the an inducement composed solely of an inducement
of the alluring kind, the hope of the matter of good in the shape just
mentioned.
Case 2. The Monarch places a Representative of the people
in an official situation with a certain mass of pecuniary
emolument attached to it: but reserving to himself the
power of displacing at any time the individual so placed,
Here it is by intimidation alone it being understood from experience that in the event of this
speaking or voting on the side opposite to the Kings, or to a
certain degree neglecting to speak or vote on the Kings side
such will be the consequence. Here it is by Supposing
all prospect of advancement out of the case, here is is by of
fear alone, unmixt with hope that the instrument of corruption
and thence of misrule is composed.
