Nothing more easy than to a law as having been
made — nothing more impossible than to make one —
even to the very effect, to which its is thus to have been
made.

The whole weight of their authority will be
employed in the endeavour to if possible
the very idea of it the abolition of this branch of the slave trade. The more intimately they are
concerned of the blessings that would result from it,
they the more loudly will they execrate it as pernicious
the more anxiously they fear the accomplishment
of it the more peremptorily they will
declare it to be impracticable.

10 continued

As often as occasion comes, sitting on a judicial
bench, to any effect whatever a lawyer will forge a

in existence. To that same effect, propose that
in a may determinate form of words a law to that same
effect be made, that same lawyer will in
certifying declaring it to be impossible

To every effect, as
occasion comes,
a Judge will forge
a rule of law: to
that same effect, in
every determinate form of words,
propose to make a
law, that same Judge
will declare it impossible

No housekeeper
foolish enough to
turn off a cook for
not roasting a never-
-ordered leg of mutton,
or to forge, or falsely pretend
to have given, an
order for that purpose
