Judges are Suborners

All the power and endurance zeal of these Judges is exhaustive employed
in the endeavour to committ subornation of perjury: to force men into perjury — in a word/other words in
course the commission of that crime, for which

sentenced to transportation for perjury by that same Judge?
The convict has once in his life committed perjury: the Judge
is every day of his life ready to suborn it? Compared with the

wickedness of the Judge,
does not that of the
convict shrink into
