After giving the institution so much praise
which is not its due, he places to its account
as defects, very reall real defects indeed, but
which do not belong to it: for like every body
before and after him he confounds the nature
constitution of the tribunal with the mode of
procedure: not only the want of a corrective
to the supposed advantage and real disadvantage
of vicinity, but want of various a variety
powers necessary to of collecting evidence, without
which the proceedings operations of this and every
other sort of tribunal are but so much systematical
partiality and solemn injustice. There
though at the expense of his discrimination,
he has manifested his made no inconsiderable <add>display of liberality</add> candour and discernment:suggesting emendations which though for ones most perfectly
well grounded, and uncontroverted, and clear
from every shadow of objection, might as
well have lain boxed in his study, for any
use that has been made of them or attention
paid to them in the course of six and thirty
years by the zeal and discernment of his
predecessors, colleagues, and successors, the sages of the law.
