1828 Feby. 11
Law Amendment.

16
Propositions
(2) Ch. IV. Oath none
Supplemental Perjuries

3
Contributions if required
from laymen may be
had from the Custom
House or the Courts of
Justice

What is plain is — that for the service required by religion
no number quantity of profane perjuries is regarded as sufficient, if
it were perjuries in any additional number, of any
additional number could be at once needful and sufficient
might be had at the Custom-house — not to speak of other
places including the Courts of Justice. If not, instructions for
a Bill of supply might be given to the University Members
and how soever unworthy to recommend Instruction to Members in
assuring a precedent to an excuse generally followed, to instructions from such constituents
no objection could be interpreted

4
In London University
this part of education
forgotten

If university education were sufficient to qualify
men for this function, application might be made to the London
University, for which some time, this part of education
appears similar to have as yet been passed over with neglect

5
Th additional oaths from laymen
might be made at the
alter

All this is beating about the bush. But the plain case
is when every thing is said and done is — that in the assistance
of perjuries necessary in religion — (to that religion without
which there can be no morality —) can never be compleat
unless in a certain proportion the perjurers have had the
benefit of receiving the holy ghost. Something might be done
by fixing appointing the time for taking the requisite appointing the altar
for the place at which the portion allocated to each such receiver
shall be taken, and the hour immediately subsequent to that of the administering
the sacrament for the . By that arrangement some
portion of labour might be saved, for that by these circumstances
a particular r zest and richness might be given to the producer
in such sort that it and that a perjury of this extra sort would go much further and take for more
than a perjury of the ordinary sort can not consistently be matter
of doubts to any person received or non received [+]
[+] whose faith in the
indispensableness of
perjury to religion is
professed by the
the Church of
England stands thus assured.
