Under despotism, continual
the leap-frog
between love of money
and do of vengeance.
Of vengeance if constantly
predominant, extirpation
the result.
[☞ Note on Orangemen]

In ordinary times,
love of money suggests
that to labour men
must live.

But when population
has outstript subsistence,
by prudent use of
musquets and sabres
co v irascible and
concupiscible appetites
may be reconciled:
paupers thinned,
poor-rates lessened.

Under every such government, there is a continual conflict
— as Swift as Swift would say in the Tale of a tub a continual game of leap-frog —is said of flesh and spirit
between f love of money and love of vengeance.
By Love of vengeance, if it stood were heard alone the whole species
would be devoted to extirpation, + + ☞ Orangemen In ordinary times love
of money steps in and says — nay, but if unpayers of
taxes were left alone no taxes would be paid. Under some In a certain state of things

as the numbers of paupers is decreased experiences decrease so does the
burthen of the poor-rates.
