Parl y Reform

Ch.10 Seat bought

'.3 Seller's mind

2

But to the present purpose of the present question " limit or continuation" as applied to mind - viz. to the mind of the seller of the seat, which in the present section is the subject of inquiry, or to that of the buyer of the seat which in the last section was the subject of inquiry, all these are distinctions without difference. So long as the system exists, no mischief other than that of the system itself results in any individual inclusion from the acting[?] under it. Approving the system, or what comes to the same thing, disapproving the /all/ idea of reforming /a reform in/ it no man can in his own mind believe that he does wrong in acting under it. As little can /could/ he although ever so disapproving the system, his wishes /desire/ to see it reformed were ever so strenuous and sincere. For supposing it to be reformed, how is it to be reformed but by the aid of hands already in the House? and how are any hands to find their way into the House but by such ways as give admission to it?

The buyer it has been shewn above does no wrong, thinks no wrong, in buying the seat: the seller, doing no wrong, how is it that he can think himself to be doing wrong, in selling it.
