Bad as the world is said to be I must confess
I would trust the whole of it together
[which can not have an interest in supporting
fraud or calumny] with rather more confidence than
I would an au single a single auditor of an office, a single parish vestry,
a single committee of Justices of the peace, [a single
court of Exchequer tied down by antient forms which have in which
justice comes in <add>as the object now and then by accident [as the object]</add>
something else than justice for their object] as or
even a single committee of a British house of
commons. Some may want integrity, some may
want judgment knowledge, some others quickn knowledge
quickness, others judgment: all may want time. All these qualities requisites may commonly be found in
tolerable perfection in that multifarious & aggregate body called
the world: which drawing disinterestness disinterestedness probity from its
immensity, may without inconvenience by be
judge and witness at the same time. In this
heterogeneous immense & and discordant mass the worst qualities answer the
purpose of the best: envy, hatred, malice, and all
uncharitableness will do the work of public spirit: See Principles of legisl.
Introd. Ch. [Motives]
they will even do it better, [do more good,] because they are more
active; and so long as they keep clear of perjury
and forgery, against which there are established remedies, they can't do harm.
