5. II of the Outs

Fallacies - useful to the Outs are all that serve to defend[?] [...?] impede or discredit good measures proposed by the Ins

' 5 Fallacies of the Outs - their general nature.

If, in speaking of the Outs regard be had to the persons thus described, in the fallacies in which the Ins find the means of defence for /for such/ /for whatever/ abuses and other imperfections, whatsoever they be, in which they behold sources of profit to themselves /which in defence of their more [...?]tendant interests they find an interest in setting to work/ whatsoever fallacies there be /may be to be found/ /in the vice of which/ in which /the dissemination of which they have an /a sinister/ interest, in the same fallacies have the Outs also the like interest: the difference between possession and expectancy being /constituting/ the only difference. (a)

But, if regard be had to /Look at/ /Turn to/ the /this/ /circumstance of/ position in which they stand, /act,/ the fallacies which we belong to the position of the Ins, will be seen to have no application to the position of the Outs. The position of the Outs will at the same time be seen to have a set of fallacies peculiar to itself

Fallacies peculiar to the position of the Outs, are such the tendency of which is to promote the discussion of the Ins: to promote it viz. in the only way in which it is in the power of arguments proper or imporper /relevant or irrelevant/ to promote any such event, viz. by lowering them /these measures, and thence the authors and promoter of these measures/ in the estimation of those to whom it belongs to judge, and whose judgement presents a prospect of being contributory to such event.

(a) Note to say that [...?]utrates are here held[?] out of the account.
