Secret informations
A resolution [on the part of ministers or even
of the sovereign himself] to receive anonymous informations
in this way would do nothing, unless it were
known: and if universally known the terror of
such informations would by lessening the occasion for them
it the apprehension of concerning the subject of such ap informations
reduce the number.
would be sufficient to reduce the number within a
small compass. And upon whom would this apprehension
fall? whom but the guilty and upon such as had it in contemplation
to be guilty, so to be? and upon those only : for what would
the innocent have to fear from it?
