These things considered
necessary consequence
supposition of its being
interest and duty to
embrace every promising
occasion of relief

Be this as it may, there could not have been in
the whole kingdom nation an who if he belonged to the h considering himself as belonging
to the nation could avoid seeing regarding the whole
system of government of the as a heap of grievances under and
against which it was alike matter of interest and duty
to seek relief, and for that purpose to profit by any occasion whatever opportunity
should at any time present itself as affording any tolerably
promising chance of a favourable result

21
Unfortunately no
loss to D the many, without
profit to the few

The misfortune is that that in that state of things which to the many
is a source of suffering and on the account of happiness loss, there are always
some, in a number more or less considerable to whom
it is a source of profit.

Per contra, profit
there was to then a few Church
of Englandists. Of this
it would of course be
the study to keep the
government in the
same bad state as
ever: all the grievances
unredressed accordingly
to keep out all society
by military force and
corruption employed in
keeping up the customary pillage

Among of the 400,000 Church of Englandists or thereabouts
In the great majority the grievances which then pressed upon as above, not
the rest of their fellow countrymen but upon themselves afforded
no advantage or prospect of advantage in any shape. But
still there were but too many in whose eyes to whom
in their own eyes according to their own calculation, the
system of government was upon the whole a beneficial one.
Over and above the loss profit necessary to c form one equipenderist
counterpart to one equivalent for the loss, they
then each of them more or less of profit to himself. Then
there would of course as far as they durst, are then employ all
and their influence exertion in the endeavour to keep in
the gov government in the state as in were it ever
so bad in which they found it: and, for that purpose,
in keeping out the remedy in question as well as
every thing in that presented itself to their eyes in the character
of a remedy. These accordingly with a military force
for
for their support, were
at all times might
selected for the purpose
and engaged and
kept to work by the
matter of corruption
in every shape in
which it could be employed, for the oppression and pillage of a people it is capable of being employed.
