One of three things must happen: either his
inward opinion continues adverse to his open
declaration, and the man becomes unhappy:
or he brings them to some colour of reconciliation,
and the soundness of his intellect &
dignity of his character are the sacrifices which
cement it: or he resolves to forget his declaration
as fast as possible, & think nothing
about the matter.
I believe I shall have the testimony of most men's observation in my favor, when I suppose this state of the mind is the one of the most
common of them all: but is it absolutely necessary to
travel take this road in order to arrive at it, and leave
his sincerity behind him for the Toll.
Add to this, that however well disposed he
may be to an oblivion on his own part, situations
will ever and anon occur to which force
him to remember.

of mind which gives birth to those propensities
in which those propensities have their
that active vigor of mind without which a Legislative

governs.
