9.
Because they have not been convicted as such in a
Court of Justice.
10
Because that is not the business of everyone [it is not
every one who has tallents of for it ] Because a business of that
sort is what every one is not fit for
11.
Because every one gives his love & respect only when he finds
a likeness to himself without regard either to publick
or private virtues.
12
This is not clear: There is shame in doing evil, but living in
society is not doing nothing.
13.
The comparison of former times with the present will
shew beyond doubt how much the souls are risen or fallen,
the very air, & deportment shew it.
14.
Because in every country and in every age mankind
is not born perfect.
15.
Our ancestors did not all know how to read & write.
NB. This question comes from a licentious way of speaking which
our ancestors had not, but if they had had it, they would have
counted for one now ten then.
