Y trabajare para hacer a la patria po-
derosa, para que ellos Sc ~aprovechen
y Sc glorifiquen. Isle q orden publico
y la p%rosperidad de la patria no pre-
viene todas las injusticias y todos los
sufrimientos, disminuiran seguramen-
te en- ndmero.
"Pero, por otra parte, TRAGIC de mi
viajc un sentimiento nuevo, In cora
z0H mas ~caritativo, La idea de que
somos todos redimidos por ell mismo
Dios, y que por Ell somos iguales en-
cierto modo, abolira mi orgullo y me
animara a gobernar con dulzura, tan
to como los intereses me 10 permitan.
Y eNtendere entire mis-. vasallos esa
otra idea de que la j~usticia perfecta
debe reinar en- ofra vida, y que ALA
es donde deben e~speraila.
LES hare enseiiar esta doctrina, no
ciertamente para engaianlos y para
dispensarme de hacerles bien, sino
para ayudarles a soportar los males
