I then in factin the course of that period there have been in fact any two portions of time
in which their the complexion of their conduct in point of sincerity
has varied - their intuitions having been unformable to their
—
the course of many years their plan sh
never have undergone experience any thing of bation, fluctuation
or change is more than I can take upon him to
assure myself of - that men the plans of whose conduct knows
no guide but the convenience and or supposed interest of
the moment should every now and then be subjected
to change is natural enough. If the truth of my
hypothesisexplanation required to be required an uniform
unvaried consistent of conduct to be pursued by
them throughout any inconsistency in the line of
conduct represented by me as actually pursued by
them, would indeed be adverse to my supposition,
and afford a reason ground for regarding it as false
erroneous - incorrect. If th consistent were set aside
duty and their profissious, the one time, and repugnant, it or in any respect inconsistent , any statement or Supposing the
conduct inconsistent
at any time, a

would be incorrect
No such

the other, any explanation which should represent it as all along
uniform and consistent, whether the right or
on the wrong side, in so far be incorrect one.
But, as in fact I never did take upon me to assure my

consistency, so rather does the purpose of

that that intention has carried into effectwas pursued by a train
of conduct carried on for during a length during which of time when the opposite
intention was professed during which the opposite, is with one beyond a doubt: but
at what precise time this plan of duplicity was taken up- the treachery conceived- and with
what degree of steadiness and consistency it was carried
on - these are points which I find myself obliged must be to

some curiosity, would be an object of no moment with reference to any practical
use or purpose.
