If anti rational to suppose
in a whole nation the
power of divesting its
posterity of all legislative
power, still more so
to ascribe the same
power to any single
man.
If by there be no sufficient reason for considering
the whole legislature entire sovereignty of a nation at any one point of time as having it in
its power to divest debar the entire sovereignty of any
future time of from exercising the same powers
which itself has exercised, much still less can there be
any sufficient reason for considering a portion
of that same sovereignty as possessed of that same power
of continuing to do operate mischief without remedy and
without end.

For regarding as
treason any ceremony
having for its object
such perpetual dethronement,
full as much
reason is there, as
for so regarding many
of the acts treated as
treasons.
If the ceremony of kissing a book
called the Holy Gospels or any other book, accompanied with or
without with the pronunciation of the words I swear So help
me God, and with or without the pronunciation of
the words I swear there be any such effect attached
as that of causing laying the Kings of future times under
an obligation of exercising their prerogatives in
a any manner that by the people over whom they are whose concerns they are bearing a part in the
management of
reigning will be deemed repugnant to their interests
and prejudicial irksome to their happiness feelings; the ceremony
performance of any such ceremony is would be of the number
of those acts to which the denomination and penalties
of treason would be applicable with at least as much
propriety as any other of the acts to which they have
ever been applied.
