Appendix
§. 4. Monarch's and Legislators
Relation.
183 42 or 1 33. or 1.
Relation between Monarch's
interest and legislative
Aristocracy's do.
Note on this aristocracy
depends the existence of
the whole stock of objects
of general desire having
place at community's
expence.
184 52 or 2. 34. or 2.
I. Monarch's interest is
that, of the whole stock,
his own consumption
excepted, the aggregate shall
operate on legislature in
the way of corruptive
influence: viz. that the whole
and thence his share,
may be maximized.
Legislature's interest
accordant.
185 43 or 35 or 3.
In so far as this influence
takes effect, these
Agents and Trustees
betray the interest of the
principals: to a
proportionable amount the
sinister sacrifice is made.
Every act contributing to it,
is in _____ of hostility
to the community: whose
resentment, in so far as
they understand it to be
so, is assured.
186 44 36. or 4.
Hence it is their joint
interest to concurr in
whatever measures
promise to prevent the
hostile effect of the
measures in question from
being observed by those
to whom they are
hostile.

Appendix
§. 4. Monarch's and Legislators
Relation.
187 45 or 37. or 5.
Course contributory to
this purpose, joining in
prohibitory and punitary
arrangements, inhibiting
particular communications
for the purpose
of corruption or
compact:
By this course, the
amount and effect of the
corruptive influence
is not really diminished:
though in appearance
is produced perhaps of
not an actual diminution,
at any rate a
wish and endeavor to
effect it.
188 45 or 38. or 6.
Suppose all such
communications prevented,
the efficiency of the instruments
of corruptive
influence is not lessened.
Wishes are as effectually
manifested by relative
situation as by words.
So likewise the interest
which the one has in
complying with the wishes
of the other.
By the uncertainty
that what will satisfy the
Monarch etc. the exertions
of the Representatives
are made greater than
they would be if the
quality that would
satisfy were liquidated.
By interdiction of
acceptance, no diminution
of corruptive influence
is effected. Gift
to a man's relatives can
