Indirect Legislation
Diverting
-tors when arrived at a certain degree of opulence
spare their whole time to the same purposes. Accordingly,
taking war into in the account, such appears
to have been the way in which in rude ages the men of opulence
appear in our northern climates at least to have
always spent a certain proportion of their time, more or
less in proportion according to the rudeness of the age. Goin
Actual war, preparations for war: hunting which is
the image of war & which by it's dangers and exertions
may be consider'd also as a preparation for war:
animal functions, drunkenness and repose: these
particulars compose almost the whole of the history
of the rich proprietor of the gothic age: whose pri great privileges
seem to have consisted in the being able to preserve
in an age of in some industry husbandry the occupations
and character of a savage.
This being the case every innocent amusement enjoyment
& amusement which the ingenuity of man has ever invented
or shall ever be able to invent is may be pronounced to be of
use in a double point of view: 1. for the sake of the pleasure
that it brings; and for the sake of the tendency
which it has to wean men from their
natural attachments to the evil habits above-
mentioned. And Now when I say every innocent amusement,
I mean every amusement whatever of
which it the contrary can not be proved that it is pernicious
untill the contrary
which can be shewn
to be pernicious
untill the contrary
be proved of it
