Perjury wrong in
any degree, the
more palpably innoxious
the acts
so employed for the
prevention of, the
more inexcusable
the universal subornation
of it.

The act noxious,
the more so, the
greater the good
which, supposing
the oath to abstain
from it in any
degree efficacious,
will be to be set
against the mischief
of the profanation
= the perjury.

If perjury be any thing, if it be any the slightest
degree there be any thing wrong in it, the more completely
innoxious and insignificant those acts
are, by the commission of which the oath is violated
and perjury committed, the more inexcusable is
the act of those by whom it is caused thus uselessly
and wantonly produced. If the transgression
had any thing mischievous in it, the prevention of
it would in proportion to the mischief be prevented
be productive of beneficial consequence, and the
mischief of the perjury and the subornation of the
perjury have so much good to set against it. But
if in the transgression there be nothing mischievous
in the prevention of it there is nothing beneficial, and
the mischief evil of the perjury and the subornation is
so much pure evil, unalloyed and un
and unalloyed.
