NONCON — Why is object of moral abhorrence
It may may be a [matter of] curious speculation
to a the Philosopher to consider, how
it should have happend, that this taste in
particular should so frequently have met with such
hard measure, from Legislators beyond what its influence
upon the happiness interests of Society, at least
beyond t what that influence as recognized
by them, appear to make it deserve—
how it is that when we hear of the Hottentot
Hottentots who goPartan who never makes his meal of
Horseflesh till it has served him for a
saddle, all that we say of him it that he
is a nasty fellow, when we are told of a

between 2 favourite prejudices that are oft
cruelly to jar; The one in disfavor of this
vice; the other in favor of antiquity,
especially antient Greece, which [prejudice]
when pressed itself cannot deny dissemble to have been so overrun
with it, as to look upon it without eyes of
blame.There is no evasion nor contradiction they will not run into There is no shift they will not<add> corner they will not into</add>
run into to avoid striking against the one or
t'other —- Sometimes they will dissemble
& shut their eyes against the fact - sometimes
they will attempt to question it; at others
they will attempt set up a distinction between times
of simplicities & imagined virtue, & times of Luxury effeminacy
& vice declension: tho' in the times of greatest strength
it may be shewn to have been prevalent
prevented:
& that in thoughe the times of greatest weakness followd
long after it's extinguishment. At any
