the impossibility of the attempt.

As we observed under the title of accident that the gradations and
the obviousness of connection between the energy & the calamitous
accident were too impossible to be masked out by general & permanent

cases will the combination be perfectly

When as I have the gradations of
guilt are so equivocal
& insensible, such ghastly
precipices in the Scale
of punishment, immediately

mounting up to is contiguous to ruin/t may
ruin, betray evidently
the hasty workmanship
of a rude age: & call
for the hand of a better
to smooth them down. lay them smooth
