Sinecures

§. 2. A Sinecure Usefulness of a Sinecure for all the purposes that have
been found for it.
§. 2. A Sinecure is fit for no good purpose.
§.2. A Sinecure is not fit for any good purpose.

and as supposed, properly bestowed: six
instances ways at any rate in which it has been supposed
to be of use, and although yet in no one of those
instances will it be altogether easy to discover
the secret: as if any in consideration of which
it has been bestowed be very easily discoverable.

labour been hunted out shall, every one of them
be presented to the reader's notice be brought under the reader's view. In each of these
instances the case itself will be plain intelligible enough,
but in each no one of them, what the service is in consideration
of which the sinecure is bestowed will be
altogether obvious, if at all discernible not be quite so obvious.
