11 §.6. From age
§
As to the Catholics no further delay seems capable of
being opposed to the day in which under the common universal servitude
this plan will in both countries be nearly if not altogether upon a level
with that of the Protestants. In the breasts of those, in whose
eyes imagination can point closely or at the command of charity Christian charity/repressed on the part the hands of those by whom
the rule immediate agency is administered any such affection as real sympathy
the corresponding sy and the relief administered granted
as the effect of it, the correspondent affection of gratitude
will of course be executed. awakened Neither in this shape however
nor in any other will it be let us hope in the power of any bo boon which
the ruling few can give to turn aside their eyes attention from
the great still superior interest which is at once their interest and
their duty, than shewn in the use that interest which
they possess in common with all Britons as well as with
all Protestants — the share they have in the universal interest
the interest they have in the substitution of democratic
to Monastic or aristocratical ascendency of the system
of reform to corruption of good government to misrule.
Unless consequences were thus weighed and measured, and the
illusion seduction of sentimentalism resisted, the results would be that
by the exercise to the practice of virtue in the small scale they would add
the practice of vice upon a much larger scale, unless self- conscious
maleficence of upon the an all comprehensive scale
were to be exempted from the appellation given and the reproach
due to vice.
