Sinecures

In the insincerity were that all – in the countenance
given – no such high situations by such high authorities
to the practice of saying one thing while another is believed or intended
in that not less baneful becomes general not to say
universal practice in in that the spread given
to that cancer in the public mind and the body politic I should view
I must confess an all sufficient for my own part were there were no other a self-sufficient reason for the abolition
of all sinecures.

I am What I am fully sensible of is that the
universality of the practice can not but lower and in a similar in the same
proportion the value in the estimation of the public without
as well as within doors the value importance of the principle the principle of sincerity which
prohibits it, but still where the difference is so small
as between a given man with the insincerity, and
the same man without the insincerity, the insincerity
might not only might be given up but would be given
up and could not but be given up, unless like the
propagation of the Gospel the propagation of insincerity
were considered in the light of a substantive and positive
advantage.
