Feared powerful political groups but believed that individual men can be reasonable and responsible.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift did not have a lot of trust towards political groups. He was scared of the power that these groups were able to collect. Moreover, he was also concerned about the fact that these groups were often divided by reasons that he believed were irrelevant or petty. However, he had more hope for individual men, as he thought that these were able to be reasonable when not influenced by politics.
