OBSTACLES REFORMERS Temerity of
He who reproaches upbraids justice with a mischief for
which there is no remedy, is an enemy to [the
tranquility of] his Country; & he who expatiates
upon a mischief for which he offers none without printing out one is
but half its friend —
The invitation occasions no to censure are
so many & so well received, & to praise so few
and so suspected
so many people find their
account in censuring so
few in praising
has as easy a task
It is so easy to find point out real inconveniences,
& [even in default of them where there are none] to dress up imaginary
the attention to circumstances of felicity is
naturally so weak as being, whatever they are, no
more than what they lay their account in meeting with have a right to expect,
the attention to inconveniences stimulated by the
eagerness in discovering mismanagement
variety of superior discernment [in discovering
them] naturally so strong, the disposition to
censure and complaint so prone, the task of
finding materials for it to exercise itself upon
so easy, that of itself it can very little
encouragement acknowledgement from society
The apparent folly or knavery
of discontented reformers so frequently apparent often
adds, to the obstacles & the
prejudice against the reformation
for which they are clamourers
tho' it were really expedient,
& in general against all reformations.
