Parly Reform
Be a negation ever so As to negatives in general, be
they ever so strictly true everybody must be sensible how
difficult a matter it generally is to prove them so.
This being considered, one proof more shall be added
and that of a kind which seems to promise a bette chance than
anything that has been said hitherto of finding
itself adapted to the taste of a high great character in his high
situation, should any good fortune have destined me
any such honour as that of numbering reckoning any such great
character in the number of any readers.
Supposing it admitted that by this those several great
characters in their respective high situations, extraordinary
services entitling them respectively to a mass of reward over and above that
which was composed of the mass of emolument, , patronage
power and dignity respectively attached to those situations
had been rendered, and that the reward so merited was equal
to the value of the several sinecures so respectively bestowed
upon them, one of two propositions, too injurious to
other great characters, either in still higher situations or
in still gre the same situations in still greater numbers
to be readily admissible admissible without the utmost repugnance would ensue. One is that
in the part of by those other great characters in the same situations
and or greater numbers no such extraordinary
services were ever in any instance rendered, no such extraordinary merit
displayed: the other is that such extraordinary merit
having been displayed, there was has been in each instance
in that still higher situation a deficiency in respect of
some one or more of the qualities necessary to the determining
the occupier of such higher situation to bestow
those rewards which in so many instances were by the
supposition so well deserved.
