    Society is produced by our s, and government by our es our POSItIVELY by uniting our affections, tter NEGAtIVELY by restraining our vices.  tercourse, tes distinctions.

    Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its  state an intolerable one; for ,  in a country It GOVERNMENt, our calamity is ened by reflecting t we furnishe means by which we suffer.

    Government, like dress, is t innocence; t on tibly obeyed, man  t not being t necessary to surrender up a part of y to furnisection of t; and to do by t of to c.  y being true design and end of government, it unans  likely to ensure it to us,  expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.

    In order to gain a clear and just idea of t, let us suppose a small number of persons settled in some sequestered part of ted , t t peopling of any country, or of the world.

    In tate of natural liberty, society  t.

    It is more t t lale only of REGULAtIONS, and be enforced by no oty teem.

    In t parliament every man, by natural rig.

    And erest darken our understanding, ture and of reason  is right.

    I dra from a principle in nature, urn, viz.  t t is to be disordered; and ted constitution of England.  t it imes in ed, is granted.

    yranny t remove t t it is imperfect, subject to convulsions, and incapable of producing  seems to promise, is easily demonstrated.

    Absolute governments (ture) age  t bey of causes and cures.

    But titution of England is so exceedingly complex, t tion may suffer for years toget being able to discover in  lies; some ical p medicine.

    I kno is difficult to get over local or long standing prejudices, yet if o examine t parts of titution,  tyrannies, compounded erials.

    FIRSt - tyranny in the king.

    SECONDLY - tocratical tyranny in the peers.

    t, by being ary, are independent of tItUtIONAL SENSE tribute notoate.

    to say t titution of England is a UNION of t contradictions.

    to say t t - t t to be trusted  being looked after, or in ot a t for absolute poural disease of monarchy.
