Interests adverse

Retrenchment

Add to these that other particular interest whicfh is here in question, namely the

interest corresponding to the [...?] of the dominion in question - an interest for

which, unless the ruling few will acknowledge it as their particular interest not

being able to find any one individual whose interest it is, I can find no owner other

than the daemon of ambition, has in trun four conflicting interests, each of them

contending against all the rest, each of then striving to ward off for itself, each

of then consequently striving to direct upon and against all the rest the retrenching

system.

Either the country must be reconsigned to the expelled despotism, or left a prey to

anarchy, and devoted to universal destruction, or a portion of one or more of these

particular intersts must be made sacrificed to the universal interest: whatsoever

money is given or left to each one of the four interests must be taken from one or

more of the three others.

How than are those vast partners /members/ of the community the interest of each of

which stands in a state of direct hostility to that of the daemon: the /namely/

public Creditor, the Monarch Royal favouites /representatives of the Monarch/ and the

whole body of the Clergy. Having this interest in common, all these in so far as they

see, comprehend and perceive each of then has his own interest will concurr in

opposing with all their force the demands of this same daemon, the daemon of blind

ambition with the daemon of slaughter in his belly.
