4. The boundless and ever increasing chaotic texture immensity, and consequent
chaotic texture arrangements structure, and unascertainable and incomprehensibility of that system body of institutions
the comprehension of which though impossible is carefully
and plausibly as well as artfully stated as a necessary
preliminary to the any attempt to sit in judgment on
its fitness the fitness of it in any part in relation to its professed end.

5. The impossibility – the openly , and
continually increased secretly cherished impracticability on the part of
all men with a few exceptions in respect of an acquaintance
with those expressions arrangements of will, for the non-observance of
which ignorance is no excuse, is never admitted as
an excuse.

6. The nature of the medium through which alone any
such imperfect instruction acquaintance with the system as is not absolutely attainable
is to be obtained: the picture given of it, by a
set class of men, who seeing it at once their interest and which, its is sampled by interest and is abled by power
their power to keep it in as distant from bad a state short of perfection as possible
are engaged by the irresistible force of the same interest
engaged to represent it as standing as near as possible
to the point of absolute perfection and accordingly are
never seen to speak mention of it but with a determination to exaggerate
its excellences good point to conceal its defects, and by
rendering the one undistinguishable from the other, extinguish
in the minds of their pupils and their dupes, the hope, and
if possible, the very wish to see it in any part, less pregnant with abuse and misery, less adverse
than it is to the end pure ends of justice.
