J.B. to Toreno
I shall have to certify to the Spanish nation – I shall
have to certify to the Portugueze nation. I shall have
to certify to the Protugueze Cortes – to that latter</note> Supreme Legislature by by which
has ordered already the translation of all my works has already
been ordered for the benefit of the its Constituents – I shall
have to certify to the Ultramar of both countries
that such is I shall have to certify to the men b in whose
who ever they may be, in whom in so short a space of time the present Representatives
of the Spanish people will be their successors – I shall
have to certify to them – that, I such is the opinion
which the framers of this proposed Code have of their
own wish – that they dare not endure the aspect
of any rival wish – that they dare not permitt the

of it, that in this particular their conduct is exactly
the same as that which in the like case would be the
endeavour of the government iron rule for which they

their laws the laws they endeavour to establish are such, as to be incapable of being rendered
sufficiently secure against opposition by argument, unless
protected against it by means by which the most flagitious
or absurd laws might be rendered equally secure.
