Procedure & Evidence
☞ They should have opposed the a <add>prescribed</add> introduction of the mode of perfection – viz: knowing
Justice of Peace procedure: .. and would had it not been absolutely necessary to

We shall find them converting into the matter a subject of praise a source of self-magnification
the very vice which of all others is the most copious fountain
of injustice – mendacity – and plundering man creating iniquity with that
instrument in their hands the use of which on other men
they are all along punishing without recourse: not forgetting
in the meantime to forbear punishing it be tender in their dealings and even, so
far from punishing to encourage and even compel the use
of it, as often as the practice of it could be ruinous subservient
to their own ends: glorying in their shame outstripping by far the mendacity
of priests, who in all the worst of their machinations have ever
been still more at least anxious to conceal this instrument of iniquity
than as to apply it to their ends: trampling
thus upon the very vitals of morality, and teaching men
to know no distinction between right and wrong, than the what
are created manufactured by power, the engine the use of which was
a monopoly altogether in their own hands.
