As to the corporeal instruments each of them contributes in his own appropriate /particular/ way to the common end, the fulfilment of the constantly sinister will of the public enemy of the peoples all powerful /irresistible and implacable/ enemy. In one way or other, on one occasion or other, all these several incorporeal instruments of misrule operate in their hands: but by this or that corporeal this or that incorporeal instrument is made most use of /most handled/, by this or that other corporeal this or that other

1. As to the Soldier. Function and destination of the Soldier Manner in which under a Monarch or in a Monarchy he contribtes to the fulfilment of the sinister and irresistible will - to the performance of the sinister sacrafice.

Force and intimidation are the incorporeal instruments which in the more direct and intentional way the Soldier is occupied in applying /the making application/ to the all-embracing and constantly pursued purpose. But by his pay and other [...?] he is made to belong added to the Monarchs stock of the instruments of corruption: while by the place he occupies in the vast machine /Puppet shew apparatus/ of which he is one of the puppets, and and the glitter with which he is invironed, he contributes at the same time to the amusement of his owner the great baby, and to the delusion of the subject many, fascinating and setting to work their imagination, perverting their judgment, and from the power and splendor which they see causing them to infer the existence of the excellence, moral and intellectual which they imagine.

Monarch absolute

1. Morals

On not near so good a footing are subjects in the eyes and hands of the best-tempered Monarch. Of the whole number of them no more than a very small part at the utmost are ever under his eye: those who are worst treated, those whose sufferings are greatest from the treatment they receive under his government are never, especially while under /enduring/ that treatment, under his eye. Among them /Of this whole number/ there will always be a large portion by which his ill-will his anger will continually be called forth. By Every obstruction afforded by any one of them to the fulfilment of his will his anger will be called forth, and such obstructions howsoever kept under by fear and hope must notwithstanding be universal and continual.

Whatsoever quantity of the external instruments of felicity he happens at any time to have in his hands or at his immediate command he is never satisfied with it. He never can be satisfied with it so long as he sees around him any other of those instruments that are not equally at his command. In his desires are included those of all the persons attached to his immediate service and of those desires there are not any that are or ever can be compleatly satisfied.

Seeing that his gain in happiness never can have place but by means of loss to theirs and that by /of/ every such gain loss to theirs to a prodigiously greater amount is a neverfailing accompaniment, what he can not entirely avoid the perception of is - that of the suffering thus produced by him ill-will to an amount more or less considerable in the instance of every such sufferer is liable to be the consequence. In them in a word /Among them in a large though never exactly determinate proportion/ he beholds so many enemies: by the contemplation of enmity on their part enmity on his part is produced In /For/ the gratification of this enmity as well as for keeping down resistance and securing against non payment the continually encreasing quantity exacted by him of the instruments of felicity exacted by him at their expence, the afflictiveness of the penal law is continually screwed up to the highest amount that is thought to be consistent with their efficiency. Thus it is that in the very best tempered Monarch by far the greatest number of the rest of the community have an enemy, and that enemy an essentially implacable one. If under such a Monarch such is their condition, what must it be under an ordinary one.

His interest sinister

2. Take in the next place the four immediately subordinate ends of the Non-penal or distributive branch of law: Subsistence, Abundance Security and Equality in so far as the less important are compatible with the more important, maximized.

1. Subsistence. This it is true it is his interest they should have: that is to say such of them as are in a condition to work and can be made to work: for, unless he lives, man can not work. /for man can not work any longer than he lives./

But it is the interest of the greatest number that whether able or not able to work they should live which is as much as to say that they should subsist that they should have subsistence /in which is included the having subsistence/.

2. Abundance. This also it is his interest they should have: and the more /greater the quantity/ they acquire /produce/ and thence have, the greater the quantity which it will be in his power, as it can not fail to be in his inclination, to get out of them /these/ for himself. But so long as by any act of his, any addition how small so ever, which could not otherwise be made to the stock of the matter of abundance to the stock of their portions neither passing into and through his hands, how great may be the quantity which by this same act is taken out of their hands or prevented from finding its way into them will to this same personal interest of his be matter of indifference.

3. Security. Security is for body, mind, reputation, pecuniary property power, condition in life: it is against against injury at the hands of external evil doers, internal evil-doers not being functionaries, and internal evil doers being functionaries. Security against external evil doers, i.e. against foreign enemies his personal interest prompts him to maximize, so long /far/ as no expectation of profit presents itself from the restriction or diminution or destruction of it. But that which he is continually upon the watch to get is - an augmentation of the mass of the external instruments of felicity in his hands at the expence of other communities: and in the way /by means/ of war, that is murder upon the largest scale, this he never can get but by the diminution and as to so much the destruction of the security of his subjects as for the several possessions above enumerated.
