in vain for any of them to make pretensions: they agree
therefore by a kind of tacit convention to lower depreciate cry down its
value. The virtues of patients, intrepidity, activity, ingenuity &
fidelity which are though generally beneficial pr pernicious may be so or not according
as they are subservient to the other not regulated in subordination, are
magnified to the prejudice of the former. A man therefore
is applauded for his patience, though it was
exerted in lying in wait for a booty for his intrepidity
though manifested in his assaulting of the innocent in attacking the dwelling of a family
traveller at peaceable housholder, or in his defending himself against
the ministers of Justice: For his activity though
employ'd in seizing the incautious traveller: for
his ingenuity though display'd in working upon

of that kind which can enter their comfortless abode,
