-German reflection — indefensibility of public waste this shape
I must profess myself altogether at a loss
Of profusion in this shape it seems to pass
the power of imagination to conceive how under any
system of government ot should be able to be find so much
as the shadow of an excuse. The government is abrobert In effect and design (suppose it said) the government is
so by real influence which though by angry men called
corruption is necessary to its existence: in effect and design
absolute limited only in form and the people many be his
better deceived, and their bindings rendered the more and irremoveable compleat
Let then for argument sake no abused, sake for profusion
in this shape the defence would not receive any greater
facility than what it would find and so in common wealth
If, in future as in present times, the people are beneath
all title to regard this case not not not be said of the sovereign
who is at at all for where are the people
were made and who ownis the same at all times: this can
not be said of the great characters those stars minor luminaries with which
is surrounded those great characters for whom
at no time ever havebe found a sufficiency of that which no is requisite and
necessary to enable them to support the dignity
to their high exalted situations.
