2. Inefficacious, on these same occasions.
3. Mischievous, to an enormous extent
in a variety of ways.
4. Inconsistent with the received notions
belonging to natural Religion
5. Antiscriptural
6. Useful to Judge and Co.: eminently subservient
to their particular and sinister interest:
and as such cherished by them.
First as to needlessness. For the needlessness
of this ceremony, on the sort of occasion or for the sort
of purpose in question, we humbly call to witness again
Honorable House. Prince in legislation is in effect
the part borne by its you. In your hands is the public
purse: with you, with few and casual exceptions,
laws originate. Take any law whatsoever,
in the scale of importance what, in comparison with
the power of making that same law, is the power of
exercising, in relation to that law it, an act of judicature,
reversable of course at pleasure by the powers
by which the law was enacted? Well then –
when at the instance of the Honorable House, a
law has been enacted – this same law, was it
passed upon determinate grounds, or was it groundless?
To stile it groundless, would be to pass condemnation
on it. It Having appropriate determinate grounds,
and these grounds appropriate, of what then are those same grounds composed?
