is making uie OF the power any one has IN
his hands not for the good of ihofc who are
under it, butfor bis own private fePerate adj
vantage. When the Governor, however in
ttuled, makes not the law, but his will, the
rule and his commands and actions are not
directed to the preiervation of the properties
of his people, but the fatisfaefion of his own
ambition, revenge, covetoufnels, or any other
irregular patton.

fon, becaufe it comes from the ob(cure hand
