I. Monarchs interest

Security bears reference to evil, and can no otherwise be understood than by reference to it: security is security against Evil. Evil may be considered in respect of its nature, or in respect of its source

Sources of evil are the operations of nature: the operations of human beings considered in the several characters of internal adversaries: and external adversaries: internal adversaries are termed misdoers: their acts in so far as productive of evil misdeeds Misdoers are either non©possessors of political power or possessors

It is the interest of every member of the community to possess in the compleatest degree security against evil from all these several sources against misdeeds by individuals at large and against misdeeds by /of/ functionaries

exception excepted It is the particular interest of the Monarch that the maximum of security should be enjoyed by all the other members of the community in all these several branches with only one exception. But it is his interest that against his own power including that of all other functionaries in so far as the exercise of their respective powers is not unconformable to his will there should /shall/ be no security

It is in a word his interest that in all things /points/ in which any contrariety has place between his particular interest and the universal interest the /a/ sacrifice of the universal interest to his particular interest shall take /have/ place. This sacrifice may be termed a sinister sacrifice © in the present case /instance/ the Monarchs sinister sacrifice.

Whatsoever arrangement produces a net addition to the sum of his happiness it is his particular and sinister interest that it shall accordingly take place, whatsoever be the quantity of unhappiness and misery thereby produced /defalcation thereby made from the greatest happiness of the greatest number/
