Employ

We
use
a
thing
,
or
make
use
of
it
,
when
we
derive
from
it
some
enjoyment
or
service
.
We
employ
it
when
we
turn
that
service
into
a
particular
channel
.
We
use
words
to
express
our
general
meaning
;
we
employ
certain
technical
terms
in
reference
to
a
given
subject
.
To
make
use
of
,
implies
passivity
in
the
thing
;
as
,
to
make use of
a
pen
;
and
hence
there
is
often
a
material
difference
between
the
two
words
when
applied
to
persons
.
To
speak
of
“
making
use
of
another”
generally
implies
a
degrading
idea
,
as
if
we
had
used
him
as
a
tool
;
while
employ
has
no
such
sense
.
A
confidential
friend
is
employed
to
negotiate
;
an
inferior
agent
is
made
use
of
on
an
intrigue
.
I

Cowper

nature

perhaps
because
of
the
similarity
in
sound

between
