Indirect Legislation
Notes
Divesting §
A
Quakers
From p. 2
(a) I am aware of the mischiefs that have been
produced by Quakerism. In the year 175 . . By the prevalence of excess to which
that spirit the principles of that sect were carried , the colony of Pennsylvania was brought
to the brink of ruin. But this neither was nor
could have been the work of the any human
legislator: and it went equally to check every
measure of ass defence against the enemy, whether
suggested by the irascible appetite or by
the principle desire of self-preservation. A Quaker would
not so much rather have lost all he had, there
than furnish money to pay others for defending
him.
(a)
Pollnitz
Debauchery
most when
Public places
are shut.
(a) The If in such reason a case like this reason be not sufficient, experience
may at least be heard.What is in the text had been written for some
months, when I happen'd to meet with the following article paragraph
which I have translated from the Memoirs of
the Baron de Pöllnitz Tom. 3. Liege 1734. p. 312. Tit. Amsterdam
"I have heard the late Mons. d'Argenpon who was Keeper
"of the seals say, that while he was Lieutenant of the Po-
"-lice at Paris he had observed, that more deeds irregularity and there were more instances of
"more debauchery practiced committed in that city during the fort-
"-night at Easter when the theatres are shut, than in
"four months of the time season when they are open."
