Indirect
Guarding
For my own part I must confess, that while
I paid so many for so many red coats I would
have what use out of them I could. get what I could of them in the way of service. I would
therefore settle with myself once for all which
were the greater evil of the two: the evil of having such possessing (at the risk of being
possessed by)
a defence, or the evil of being deprived of it.
For my I must confess that supposing [it settled
that there is no evil in keeping] an eligible evil to keep twenty or thirty
thousand of them within call, at the under the
orders of a military
commander, how
it would be
an additional evil thant a half or a fourth
part of those very same men were employ'd in my
defence under the orders of the civil magistracy
is more than I can see.
Those who thought a guard necessary to be
set over these guards might associate and welcome:
if no such associations were kept set on foot, I should
regard it as a totally decisive proof that the people
were unanimous in thinking with me that the we
should have no more more better reason to be afraid of
the military, in that case event than we have at present,
and but that we may derive this additional benefit
from them their services without adding any thing to
the danger.
