Lett. 7 Whigs Anti-Reformists
(3) §. 5. Pos 4 Why
Conclusion

5. advantage of having been being descended from persons possessed of in a time of
close some one or more dissent more or less long possessed of these several advantages, some
one or more is all of them.

or 4
3. Of such possession
the proper result
is - no special confidence
but special distrust
since the more a
a man has of them
the further higher is he removed
lifted above
the having sympathy,
of affection
and conception for
the people

3. So far from constituting any just fit ground for a
claim to any such confidence, these several advantages, in
so far as they have place serve to constitute the sort of diffidence distrust opposite
to such confidence: because forasmuch as the greater the degree
in which they have place, the less strongly they are likely efficiently
to be endured with and activated by those
the farther are their interests removed from a coincidence
with those of the great body of the people and the less the degree proportion in which
they are likely to be endured with those sympathies [as well
of conception as of affection as of conception] by which
the people members of the great body of the people are
connected brought into/kept in union with one another: as it is by sympathy of affection
that each is enabled disposed to f so it is by sympathy of conception
that so far as depends upon knowledge each is enabled
to serve and promote the interest of every other.

4. Suppose it proves
that a certain class
of men posses as
such a just claim
to popular confidence:
still before
he could claim the
benefit of it, each
man would have
to prove that he belongs
to that class, which
no body can do.

4. Only in so far as it was man Even supposing
it rendered manifest that the set of men designated by a certain
name are or were possessed of a well grounded claim to
the sort and degree of confidence in question at the hands
in question, on behalf of no pers individual could any well grounded
claim to any share portion of such confidence be made out
any further than adequate proof could be made of his being
of the number of the individuals belonging to that same set:
and by in the case in question by in favour of no one individual can
any such adequate proof be given.
