By oath truth shut

§ § I.
Prop. 1. Falshood let in, forced in, : truth shut
out [+] [+] falshood not only
useful, but known to
be so by those by whose
irresistible power the utterance
of them has been
made necessary necessitated: proofs
in such sort appropriate stand out, by which if
suffered to come to a
decision the direct opposite
of that which to
a warrant for which
is made by the exchequer
would have been be commanded decision avowedly proceeded on grounds that foreign to have nothing
to do with the merits. Take [1] Perjuries produced in countless multitudes
that by this virtues by this means falshoods in still vaster more immense multitudes
may flow in, falshoods which though conducive to the same sinister
purposes are not perjuries In all these forms abuse
by which be whosoever these pages are supportable will be seen
ruling revilling: but and in all those forms not to speak of other in the same time which
have or will be here seen, abuse must be rooted up and swept
away, or injustice must for ever continue to remain triumphant.

still enormously greater multitude number is beyond comparison more the most
abominable.

enormously paid guardians of morality will be seen not only
the traders — the self conscious traders of immorality in this its
most pernicious form the ready instrument of it in all other forms
but the men of by whose irresistible power the practice of it has been
compelled.
