1823. Septr. 4
Constitutional Code.

7 5. If by any person any such opinion was really entertained
his wish would be to see the necessity of the concurrence
removed: for on that his supposition the opinion
declared and the opinion entertained being on every occasion
necessarily constantly the same the appearance of force is altogether
useless: and knowing the effect of causing it to be believed that
the force of law is constantly employed in the but too successful endeavour
to cause perjury to be to an unbounded extent, committed
by those individuals whom it has forced into this
situation, it is thereby much worse than useless.

8. 6. The opinion that the on which depends the efficiency of the
ceremony is the as to the application of the force of the religious
sanction to ensure the prof against violation this premise
which to the knowledge of every one is continually violated is –
that the Almighty is holds himself in constant readiness to conform his
conduct to the will thus formed and declared by the human
rulers: in readiness just as in English law procedure the Sheriff
holds himself in readiness to give execution and effect to the will
officially declared by the Judge. If it be used – no not to a
certainty for in this case the Almighty power would be in a
of absolute subjection to the human – not to a certainty – only
to a probability – the option of in regard to execution being still
left subject to his pleasure the absurdity in what degree soever
lessened can never be thus altogether removed. For so long as by men
such form of words uttered by many any the smallest degree
of influence can be exercised with effect on the will of the Almighty,
the superiority of man over the Almighty in that
instance remains declared.
