6. That while to good purposes it is thus inefficient,
to bad purposes, in great to a great vast and indefinite in extent, variety and
importance, it has been, is, and threatens to continue to be
but too efficient: and that for that, the instrument being in its
nature alike applicable to on every imaginable occasion,
as well viz. not only are those occasions on which the oath has been
distinguished by the name of an assertory Oath, but on
those in which it retains the name of a promissory Oath,
whatsoever pernicious effects it is found pregnant with
in the latter of these two characters, will be found inseparable attached to it,
from inseparably attached to it whichsoever of the two it be employed.

7. That in the character here in question, viz. that of an assertory Oath, it has
already been seen to be a main and indispensable instrument
in the fabrication organization of the system of mendacity-licences
above mentioned.

8. That, in this same character, it is has in a variety of ways,
the effect of the obstructing the action, and weakening
the efficacy efficiency of the laws.

That, in a sort of ambiguous or mixt character, composed of that
of the assertory and that of the permissory oath, it has the
effect of bewildering the conceptions, corrupting the morals, and enslaving the
consciences of Jurymen, converting them into puppets men in the character situation of Jurymen;
contributing, in conjunction with other instruments, to the converting them
into puppets in the hands of Judges.
