1. In this that causes
to hang him malice
is by Judge implied
in Defendant: why?
because no honest
Juryman would find
it

You impute malice to him, and send him to be
hanged for the malice thus imputed you send him to be
hanged. In the situation of Juryman or in any other
situation no man of common sense or honesty would
impute it imply it to him: those who before you in your place on pretense
of declaring its mind that law which no man in suppose to
know and many more is prosecuted for not knowing
took upon themselves accordingly to imply it

In this way with malice in your mouth to say
nothing of your heart you put to death or otherwise

has rendered him the object of your malice.

sense is not in the smallest degree more to
its purpose than in the literal sense. What? because,
supposing the uncleanness real, one man has
been guilty of an offence, is that a reason why another
offence should to unpunished? Well then when it
suits you to protect guilt, how what do you manage proceed. You have

smallest and faintest spot on them your pretense is found.
