Misrule
policy. The grounds As The Grounds of accusation
gather weight by accusation and circulate
uncontradicted: [for envy, malice and the
of sagacity are more active alive than candour]
for candour is but a puny opponent to envy malice
and the of sagacity all in acting at in a league. Thus
circumstanced it is amusing enough to hear men him
complain of misrepresentation: a misrepresentation
which if it is is a just punishment for his wickedness
as well as is the natural consequesnce of his folly weakness.
There are but two plans of dealing with the mankind
people that bear any tolerable colour of propriety.
to throw the
to shut the door intelligence
altogether or to
throw it open as wide
as possible
The perfect mystery or perfect . To keep exclude
the people perfectly and absolutely from all the
knowledge of all their affairs or to give them as perfect
a state of them as possible: to keep them from forming
any judgment at all or to enable them to
form a right one: in a word to deal with them
like beasts or to deal with them like men.
The first is the plan of pursued by the priests in Egypt
by the Bramins in Hindostan, and by the Jesuits
in Paraguay — a plan which those who are may be inclined
to think it the most eligible will I hope
admitt to be impracticable when knowledge has got any
tolerable footing.
