What security against all this?--All human securities are liable touncertainty. But if anything bids fair for the prevention of so great acalamity, it must consist in the use of the ordinary means of justinfluence in society, whilst those means continue unimpaired. The publicjudgment ought to receive a proper direction. All weighty men may havetheir share in so good a work. As yet, notwithstanding the strutting andlying independence of a braggart philosophy, Nature maintains herrights, and grea...t names have great prevalence. Two such men as Mr. Pittand Mr. Fox, adding to their authority in a point in which they concureven by their disunion in everything else, might frown these wickedopinions out of the kingdom. But if the influence of either of them, orthe influence of men like them, should, against their seriousintentions, be otherwise perverted, they may countenance opinions which(as I have said before, and could wish over and over again to press)they may in vain attempt to control. In their theory, these doctrinesadmit no limit, no qualification whatsoever.
