1823. Septr. 4
Constitutional Code.

9. As to the Judges and Legislators by whom
their fellow subjects the subject many have so unceasingly perseveringly been
compelled in such multitudes into the commission of those
useless and notorious perjurers and this in spite of their
remonstrances to the a which to the above effect can not be unknown
to all of them one of two three things is manifest: namely 1. either than
the Almighty will not interpose to inflict punishment
in this life for any the violation of any human law.
or 2. that he will not so interpose for the violation of the
particular human law in question in this case: or 3. that what
it is to their feelings a matter of indifference to what account
punishment is inflicted by the Almighty on human beings,
and that at a point of time at which for for the prevention
of acts of any hand – this life the spectacle of it can not be
of any effect.

10. With little difference does will this same observation
be seen apply to the situation of all other persons who being in the
evident habit of witnessing this scene of this system of perjury, behold
the of the law in this shape to this effect without any the smallest
endeavour to obtain at the hands of the Legislators the abolition
of it. It is in In this particular as in other one What is not in every mans power is to
make an alteration in this respect particular or any other: law: but
what is in every man's power is – to petition for the alteration
of it.

As to the rulers, indefatigable are those men in the pursuit
of unbelief in others: uncontradictable in the declaration
they thus make of the existence of it in themselves: the unbelief
they punish is declared by direct evidence: the unbelief they
entertain is demonstrated by circumstantial evidence.
