subsistence, and supplying the deficiency itself, it obliges the
Creditor to subsist him: The creditor as he has suffered so much, he is therefore
to suffer more. If But suppose the Creditor after the loss he has suffered
is not enough no longer able to maintain the man who caused
it to him, Is this the case ,? there is no remedy. The poor are not worth consideration considering or
redressing.
If frustrates its own purposes in favour of the Creditors In other respects this plan is still more mischievous to
Creditors than it is to Debtors. If a man has fifty Creditors
and cannot pay every one of them any every thing, he will not
pay any one of them any thing. Why should he? If he pays
a farthing short he suffers for life; if he does not pay so much as a
farthing he cannot suffer longer. Let him be where he will
it is better to be rich than pennyless. In a prison, or rather
what is called a prison in England, the advantages which
wealth has over poverty are greater than in any other place.
