Radicalism not dangerous
II. Nature of the case
§.6.VI. impossible
§.6.VI. In shares other than equal, partition impossible.
In the first instance,
expressible
assignable, expressible,
conceivable standard
of reference, equality,
By every departure
from it, strength is
added to the all
obstacles.
For such departure
reason necessary, and
not findable.
Muc Much can scarcely be necessary under this head.
Whatsoever be the bars difficulties that stand in the way of equal partition
in equal proportion, far from substracting any thing, inequality,
in any imaginable shape, far from sustracting any thing, can enter but d have no other effect
than that of adding to their strength. Adopted or not adopted,
equality is, in the first instance, the only assignable the only expressible,
the only conceivable, standard of reference. For departing
from it, in some reason must in every instance:
be assigned: and the that instance reason will not in
any instance, be found. [[+] But And supposing it found andafter the <add>basis of the</add> new proportion [+] Moreover, not only
must a reason for the departure
be found, but a mode
in which it can be
affected. But suppose
by the reason and mode
both found, and
upon the basis of the
new proportion, a
new scheme
of partition upon determined upon, what will be the effects?
Exactly then those which have already been brought to . Destruction
exactly where have been stated
- universal destruction — still the consequence.

Not only reason
must be found, but
mode. Reason and
mode both found
no better effect
than from equality
would be found.
