As If there is no such thing as a legal definition
of a public libel, no man for having published what a
Judge or set of Judges may think fit in each instance
to term pronounce to be a libel, can legally be adjudged
to have committed any an offence against the law,
or in other words guilty of publishing a libel
or of any thing else.

If then for argument sake there were such
a thing as a legal definition of a public libel,
the effect of which were to establish a law incompatible
with the existence of a free government, and in
particular with that insurance of political liberty of freedom which
the nation is possessed of, and still more particularly
with the right of enquiring into and
passing censure and or approbation on the conduct
of their representatives the trustees of the people, and still more particularly of of the people in Parliament,
it would be the duty as well as interest
of the whole people and of every individual of it
to contribu as well as in the capacity of Jurors as
every other to contribute what ever was in their
power at least consistent with their each mans own personal safety
to put an end to the existence of such a law
and if that could not be done to destroy its
effect in practice.
