§.III. As to Security (c) This is for good, or against evil.
Security for good is either for the matter of subsistence or for
Note (c). [Security] In the words good and evil, apt additaments
being employed may be seen two appellatives which
opposite as are the sensations of other objects which they are
employed to designate, are, as to no small part of their extent
interconvertible: by ablation of good, evil is produced:
by ablation of evil, good. But on some occasions the one is
the more convenient appellative; on others, the other: on others
again both. Infinite and in no small degree perhaps irremoveable
are the ambiguity of obscurity produced at every turn
by the imperfections of language: language—that almost
exclusively applicable, though so deplorably inadequate, instrument
of human converse.
Of security—considered in so far as it belongs to Government
to afford it, the several subject matters—fictitious corporeal
and incorporeal or say fictitious taken together have been found comprehendible
under the five following heads.
1. Person—The security afforded in this case, is security
against evil in whatever shape a man's person, body and mind
included stands exposed to it.
2. Property: under which denomination, the matter of
subsistence and the matter of abundance as above are comprehended.
3. Power: considered in its two distinguishable
branches—the domestic and the political.
4.Reputation: a fictitious entity, the value of which
considered in the character of a subject matter of possession
& security consists in its being a source of respect, or love, or
both: and as being in either case an eventual source of
good offices, or say of services receivable from other persons
by the person by whom it is possessed. Take away all services
