dangerous

In England when with the assistance of a Dutch army the Revolution inadequate

remedy /security/ employed by the Whigs for the benefit of the Whigs the

Revolution was applied to the disease of despotism, this was the cry of the

Tories. No army! No Dutch army! Slavery under an army that was the blessing to

be fostered: liberty by and from and by an army that was the course to be

abhorred.

The cry which the Tories set up against the Dutch army at that time Whigs and

Tories would set up at this time against an English Army should it embrace the

cause of the subject many against those ruling few. Every thing employed for us

is good, every thing employed against us bad: to know whether a thing be good or

bad, all we want /have need/ to know is whether it be employed for us or against

us. Such is the morality, such is the reason of man in power every where.

    ?8. Corruptive influence

    With no other considerable difference than that between possession and expectancy, between enjoyment and desire all this whole system of corruption is no less determinately and scarcely less extensively an object of fond and indissoluble attachment to the party /those/ who laud one another under the name of Whigs than to those whom they vituperate under the name of Tories.

    Between the forms employed in the giving support to the system on the one part and the other, there is little more than this difference. In by far the greater part of it, the system of expenditure that necessitated by the payment of interest on the debt excepted is as completely needless as well as pernicious to the subject many as it is necessary to the support of the sinister interest of the ruling few. To This useless and superfluous part the men in office the Tories give their support in one way, the Whigs, in another. The Tories in a direct way, by continually calling for the whole amount, and defending it against all proposals of retrenchment: the Whigs by the inconsiderableness and utter inadequacy of those retrenchments which on pain of giving up the contest, they could not fail from time to time to call for: thus, of every retrenchment not called for, admitting, in a negative indeed and [...?] but not less decided and effectual way admitting and thus asserting the propriety and needfulness.
