error oversight false humanity has given birth to
acts of generosity <add>donations <add>restitutions</add></add> indulgences which though less expensive in the
first instance may in their remote consequences
be much more detrimental to the state. Estates
of Rebels have been given back by government
some after a possession of 45 others after a possession
of 75 years. The loss to the state is

particular possessions ensured these possessions to the state.
Why give any thing to the descendents of state-delinquents
so long ago deceased? why give these
possessions of above all others? — Why? — unless
under the notion of natural and indefeasible hereditary rights
rights of a complexion more sacred complexion than that
of any which human laws can create. Apply Turn now
to Ireland — If 75 years will not obliterate
these pretended natural rights, will 20 years more will
