1818 Mar. 5
Church Cat. J. B. to W. Smith Letter II

1
As to antichrist Archbishop J.
B. glad to see W. S's
eulogium confirmed:
security J. B. can
not see.

2.
Security Mr. S. reckons
upon is against —
1. Statue Law
2 Common do.

Per J. B. no compleat
security agst. either.

3.
1. As to Statute. Bills
discovered 15 and 25
June 1813 the last per
Mr. S. rejected in ye. Lords.
Cause of rejection, sweeping
clause: proof, it
stands in the amended
Bill not in the Act.

4.
Mode of defalction
not as usual amendment,
but rejection &
reproduction.

5.
Cause of the rejection
desire of continuing
anxiety and dependence;
omission useless, useless
penalties unrepeated.

6.
Cause of rejection, vice
amendment, unwillingless
to be seen
doing what they did:
therefore they made
you eat the ground
from under your
own feet.

7.
By preferring respect
nomination is intimated
a supposed
incompatibility betn.
the two modes: thence
the proper one preferred.

8.
This not true. Both
necessary: the sweepg.
to security & tranquility;
the other to an irrelevant
& minor object,
clearing
to the text of the Statute
Book: preferred,
the inadequate, rejected,
the adequate.

9.
effect & probable
object of this goodness:
for four years excludg.
Ireland from the relief
It might have been for
war. All men mortal.
The holiest (ask St
Peter else) variable
Irish Act 57.Geo.3.
c.70.

10
This one instance of
the insufficiency of
the only mode admitted.
Even setting aside
this instance security
not adequate. J. B
has not like Stanhope
read all the Statutes:
nor remember the ye
hundreth part

11.
Tranquility depends
on idiosyncracy.
Ground for tranquility
coincides with do.
for security: not seeg.
security J. B. possesses
not tranquility.

12.
The more he proves
the Statute Book ye.
greater will a man
think the danger, lest
searches in it should
be insufficient. Per J
B. this
a field for discourse very

13.
Example: after
of petition presented by
intimated multitudes
for so many generate
on discovery that to
procure the setting of
hands or other consent
to more than 20 persons
any petition useless &
is a punishable offense

14.
Further mischief
Falshood in the Irish
relieving Act:
declared to exist, where
this could not be true

15.
This but one of many
specimens of the
of law with that
religion which seeks to expel
searches wherever
formed

"doubts have arisen
as often as a blunder
is repaired. Here it
has been & may be reasonably
doubted.

16.
Ch and L. C. J.
which will they give
up? wisdom or sincerity?
