Ch. 9
False Securities for trustworthiness in Evidence – Oaths and Exclusions

§. 10 2 Ceremony of an Oath, why directed not in out of this
§. 1. Ceremony of an Oath – a false security for trustworthiness.
in Evidence

Securities to use against mendacity brought to view – securities in such number
and variety – brought to view and no mention yet of oaths
the ceremony of an oath? no mention of that sacred ceremony and awful instrument
which, in by the general estimation of members occupies the highest
place on the list and of those securities, and has so frequently been employed,
in that this character not only in preference to, and but to the exclusion of
every other? all those others?

That by the exclusions put of this sort are the
observation That by the omission here spoken of an emotion
of surprize for the expression of which whereofobservation
in one such obvious case the above should be
produced can not of itself be matter of much surprize. In
the character of an instrument actually and generally
thus employed, to those same purposes the title of this ceremony
a place upon the list of those securities, admitts
not of dispute. But in the character of an instrument
fit to be so employed the more clearly it is
looked into, the more plainly, it is supposed, will its
unfitness to be so employed be recognized.
