Parly Reform

In short, whatsoever it is necessary to that a man
should have to for either of those good purposes – o keep him
honest or to keep him respectable it is necessary a
man should have, that he must have a part as if at the his
very entrance into office over and above the sinecures chance of the sinecure;
hyst as if no such thing as a sinecure ever had were in
an existence: so that to those good purposes at least
whatsoever is given or suffered to be taken in sinecures is given in
pure trade.

This it may be said aplies, and with equal force
to procedures: to a pension of the same value as the
sinecure so long as it the pension be not yet in hand: and when
it is in hand it hey are respectively both are in hand there is
sum for sum there is in those respects at least no difference between them: each
is as good, each is as bad as the other.

But it is the as as between the pension and the
sinecure it is the peculiar property of the sinecure to be thus hanging in contingency: ready to be caught at
as soon as it drops or before it drops, and in at both<lb/?
cases periods and at neither period, as we have hath been seen, to
be applicable to any good purpose. A Pension it is true
has now and then in there and there an instance been given for more lives than that
of the first taker person on whose account and for whose
sake it was granted: given viz. for the purpose of rendering
it saleable for his own use and behalf as in the case of
Edmund Burke, or for the purpose of continuing it so
much the longer in his family so much the longer
for two or as far as for those lives.
