C 7.
Of Unlawful Reproach —
13 Defamation more mishcievous before indifferent persons than before Friends or Enemies. Defamation, when delivered before indifferent persons,

before his firm friends or determined enemies. 14 Reasons — 1. Friends will not be so ready to credit it 2. They will defend him 3. They will give him to defend himself. 4. Even & crediting it they will not spread it As
to his friends, if they are zealously his friends, in the first
place they will not give credit to the imputation till they
have heard what he has to say to it: in the next place
they will defend him against it in the mean time before
any other persons that may be present: (a) thirdly they
will advertise him of it in order to enable him to defend
himself more effectually than they can do. Fourthly,
Even though it should be conveyed to them in so artful a
manner as to induce them to believe it, it will rest with
them; they will not be instrumental in spreading it any
farther. With regard to enemies, the mischief is done
already. 16 Reasons 1. These already the aversion or contempt in the production of which the mischief consists 18
— more mischievous when accompanied with pretended friendship. If indeed the defamer will carry his Malice so far
as to accompany his defamations with expressions of feigned
regard, by this means he is more likely to gain credit with indifferent
Note.
