The concord between the two forces with harmony of the two engines between which
the sensible faculties the sensibilities of these victims the victims
are
of the patient are thus ground is such as might be expected from the
age in which the institution took its rise. The
oath is to make him a man speak true: the torture is
to make him speak false. The torture being
pretty well understood, and close at his elbow, would the spiritual punishment not
altogether so well understood, nor so right at hand quite so near,
the and the dishonour never at all present dishonour that in other cases is apt to accompany it produced rising that by usage custom and necessity[a], the choice is
not difficult, and perjury is the result. Laying the two circumstances together, to an English Jury as at present constituted may be defined with indisputable accuracy a body of occasional Judges, compelled by torture to committ perjury.

[a] If in the Liber valorum of English divines
souls were valued at a groat apiece, this feature in
the law would not have been viewed favour by the Bishop's
bench
for so many centuries with so unmoved a countenance by their Bishops bench wish so undisturbed an acquiescence.
But is it for putridity to cry out against corruption?
