48 or 31 Idlers

Without reproach by no Guardian, Trustee[?] &c can his duty be thus neglected

Unfortunately, the more extensive, thence the more important, the trust, the less

closely the sense of duty presses: till at last in time it vanishes –

49 or 32 Idlers

For these passive betrayers, best excuse that afforded by

the active: viz. hopelessness of outnumbering the

advariance means of influence: or will all in their hands | | in ours –

{ 50 or 33 Idlers

Efficient sinister interest of the active betrayer, love of

money, power, dignity, homage of passive d o., love of ease – }

{ 51 or 34 Idlers

Of both the concurrence is necessary to the sinister sacrifice – }

52 or 35 Idlers

Idlers d o. is latent: | | it has not, like Boroughmongering, got a name –

53 or 36 - Idlers

The Idlers will be scarcely | | than the men of all work more dissembling | | as

being manifestly public enemies. Among these principally two are the Terrorists viz.

Such being the state of their interests, foolish would it be to call upon the Idlers

voluntarily to give up their idleness –

55 or 38. Idlers

Sole possible means annuality of Election: by this means all will either be reclaimed

or extirpated –

56 or 39 Idlers

others all but the last Session: trusting to recent industry for oblivion for former

idleness.

Sole security for good government, dependance viz - | | on

the people: | | not independance as against Corruptor

58 or 41 Remedy – Dependence

The dependence is certainly effectible The independance certainly ineffectible. }

59 or 42 Corruption do omnipotence

Money, power, dignity, such are the elements of the matter of corruptive influence,

suppose the head man satiated, he is but the center of a circle, in which his

satellite moved: he the greater, the wider his circle: the wider, the more

insatiable.

Independant of himself he is dependant by his dependants

Sole person in whom independance is useful, Electors: sole and indispensible security

for their[?] independance, secresy of suffrage.
