Adherence to establishments is on other principles

Objection — Would
you have all establishments
change from
year to year?
Answer — No: Provisional
adherence
to existing establishments
is grounded on
considerations much
more rational than
the notion of infant
wisdom.
What then? — would you have because recorded experience
and along with it wisdom encreases from year to year,
would you have laws the whole body of them, changed
from year to year? and is this the sort of wisdom
you recommend to us?
By no means: it is a sort of change to which which
I am no more inclined to my eyes is no more pregnant with advantage than
it can be would be in the eyes of any person whose veneration
for infant wisdom were ever so profound.
But the provisional wisdom — the much more
than wisdom the necessity of adhering a provisional
adherence to existing establishments is founded in
a very different basis and much firmer basis than
the supposed any supposition of the wisdom [of the in the past times and in which that is the men by
whom these establishments were originally set on foot or
by whom they have successively been kept up in foot
unabolished at least if not unchanged unaltered.]
