They had very early laid it down to themelves
as a maxim that +[it was a hardship no man too great
to be borne by any man
ought to be obliged to subvert to to , to be obliged
to reveal a touch [the consequences of which mybe to the prejudice of his own interest
be] which it be a by concealing .]
If a man was in possession of a sum of money
which he had gained acquired by fraud , they thought
it a less evil to sanctify the fraud , and leave
him in possession , than to put any questions
to him the answer to which might afford
ground for giving it to the right owner: in
taking it from the fraudulent usurper they
saw hardship : in keeping it from the
and the injured they saw none . Questions
which if a man were honest he would be
eager to answer , they could not bear to put
to him , because in the event of his being dishonest,
they might [put a period to his
dishonesty ] disappoint the purposes of his dishonesty .
[A plan simple to absurd for any man ever
to have thought of pursuing in the management
of his own family was thought necessary to the
good management of the great family of the state.]
