§.5. Evil 4. Multiplying Country Members.

But from this cause. In this case unless he pays Debtor can not continue among his

associates without encountering the reproachful visage of Creditors on all others.

Debtors position is on the outside of an inexorable door closed by factitious delay

vexation and expence, by the same men of law in league as above with the

high-stationed swindlers in whose interest he has given himself a share: one | | of

low taxes and low fees.

39.

True: gaming not peculiar to | | opulence: | | to all opulence conjoined with

idleness. But of that the largest and highest part is | |: and that it is which | |

it is conjoined with the vices gnawing out of the abuse made of dogs and horses.

40.

Anti Reformist. Benevolence and beneficence abound in

higher orders. Reformist yes: beneficence which dealing out pence, covers the

veracity that swallows pounds.

§.5. Evil 4. Multiplying Country Members

41.

Fruits of the beneficence see in the donations recorded in the books of philanthropic

societies and trumpeted in periodicals.

42.

Fond of the veracity[?] see and measures on public debt and emoluments of official

Establishm t. add, were it possible the same fetched by the

swindling system and denial of justice by taxes and fees with the delay &c

for making pretence for the fees.

43.

Add the fruit of the regulations: favouring higher at the expence of the lower

orders, so thickly sown in the statute Book: kept for this & other purposes

in an almost boundless state, as is Judge-made law in a state perfectly boundless

burthens from which France is free.

44.

By such to help compose the Monarch’s tax[?], the coats of so many bands of elders

are so daubed with Gold as almost to hide the scarlet, while starving laboures are

calling for banishment as a relief from death.

§.6. Evil 4. Multiplying Country Members.

45.

Hunting and Gaming common to Monarchs, Aristocrats and Savages.

46.

By theory and experience thus proved that the interests of the permanent aristocracy

are in permanent hostility with d o. of the universal interest.

Proportioned to the force of that hostility is the mischief and danger to the

universal interest.

47.

To add to that force is the effect and object of anti reform, which cloaths it self

under the name of Reform, under pretence of extirpating rotten boroughs.

48.

With this compace the commercial class, like every other man’s his propensity is to

advance personal at the expence of every other interest. But he has no such means.

Country Gentlemen a link in a chain of Iron: Mercantile men in a rope of sand.

To no considerable extent have mercantile men a common interest. Each has with

relation to every other an opposite interest.
