1823 Septr. 4
Constitutional Code

On this subject the follo truth of the following proposition seems
incontestable.

1. The impending death excruciating as it has no immediate influence
on the understanding: no tendency to produce in any such short time an increased
change of in the opinion.

2. It has a tendency to produce a an immediate change in the
will: and by experience it is demonstrated put out of doubt experience shews that this tendency is continually
carried into effect.

3. As often as In every instance in which the opinion
really entertained is opposite to the opinion which by the
verdict pronounced in common is declared a violator an act by
which that promise is violated or committed, and the
promise so violated being a promise for the enforcement of
which the religious ceremony called an oath or taking an
oath or swearing having been performed, is has thereby been converted
into an act of perjury an act the appropriate name
of which is perjury.

4. In Vain would be the supposition that in every case
in which the opinions outwardly declared is conformable in agreement
with the declared verdict outwardly concurred in by as expressed in the verdict
the inward opinion inwardly entertained is so too. By
any person this may be said, but it is not in the nature of
the case that by any person it should be believed. In
every instance sort of case in which Jurors (not to speak of other men)
are free to give declare each of them that which is really his
own inward opinion, the majority being sufficient to give
validity to his verdict, such differences of declared opinion
are happening continually.
