Why not Fatal Whenever therefore the majority of Legislators
are not inclined to the same have it not at the same time in contemplation
to be guilty of a certain crime , the selfishness of
mankind we see will not stand as a conclusive
obstacle to proper Laws against that

at some time in a greater or less degree , at some time
or other) are adverse to those of the rest , it
is to be consider'd , that if there are a hundred
such different denominations in a state , the Interests of each of which
[are in their turns equally adverse to such improvements
as would be for the benefit of the
whole , yet supposing them all detached &
of equal power , there is at every particular
occasion 99 for the improvement aganst
