2. Intimidation.
3. Remuneration.
4. Corruption.
5. Delusion.

incorporeal upon his
human corporeal
instruments, he encreases
this moral inaptitude
in himself, and
produces it in them.
Thus it is in the case
of corruption and
delusion. Physical force,
intimidation and

necessary instruments
of government, in whatever
hands lodged.
Corruption means

intimidation or
remuneration, but more frequently
