§. Uses of this
§. Effects from exposure?
1. Effects on a man in the character of a an Utterer
2. Do on men in character of auditors or readers.
3. Course taken by unconverted sinister interest & interest begotten prejudice in consequence
§. What effects may be expected from this exposure. — its Useful effects
After all this exposure, is there any and what ultimate
and substantial good that can be really expected
(it may be asked) from the whole or any part of it
Sinister interest will its power over in the human breast
be in any degree lessened?
Interest-begotten prejudice, supposing that with had it a different
origin it might have been surmounted, will it not receive
a never-fading and never-yielding support from its progenitor?
from the invincible author of its being?
Answers. As to sinister interest, no: looking no far
than to the breast in which it has place, no beneficial
change can by any such instruments as those in question
be effected. [The Ethiopian will not change his colour: rivers
will not run from their mouth to their source.]
By stripping him of by taking from him every thing which
otherwise he would have said, you may reduce the man of
sinister interest to silence: their effect may be regarded as
possible. But beyond this nothing is possible. Thus far then
what is the ultimate good that can reasonably be expected?
Debate will be shortened: time will be saved: that will be
done instantly which already is done frequently. Reason
full in a man's teeth: not a syllable to be found for his defence:
the question is called for, and the matter is at an end
☞ Proceed to state the 1. or 2 the effect in authority begotten prejudice when
unsupported by sinister interest, and on indigenous weakness
2. or 1 the effect on the hearers of sinister interest
3. Are the influential few in this country capable of being thus converted
in sufficient number. The quantity of sinister interest already established
it is not everlastingly irresistible.
