clause, which guards against such repeal.
"Cicero treated" their notion [this notion] pf "tying up the hands
"of succeeding legislators, with a contempt" which
now that Cicero expresses it, our Author thinks
"a proper" one. And our Author when in an
unlucky hour, Cicero out of his head, and zeal
lazing in his breast showing in his bosom he endeavoured to persuade
succeeding legislatures that theirhands were tied
up, was treated by Drs Priestly and Furneaux
with a contempt which many others other people thought
a proper one. Lord Coke by a zeal of a very
different complexion from our Author's, had
been betray'd plunged hurried away into a similar still deeper extravagance. Different
men have different favourites. Lord Coke's
was Magna Charter: our Author's were the Laws
which punish men for worshipping God peaceably
according to their consciences. Our Author
had conjured up a degree of difficulty to oppose to their
removal some that would match with a degree of assurance
possessed boasted of by our holy mother church
in whose service the service of whose pious resentments he is their adventurous. His
is not absolute impossibility, but what† † will do just as well [is like unto
it:] her's is not absolute infallibility, but something
that will is made to answer the same purpose.
