In Judicature when there is no publicity, there is
no justice: no tolerably. adequate security for the giving
due execution & effect to the laws, whatsoever they may be.
That justice should have been the object where the doors

execution & effect to the Laws whatsoever they may be:
collateral & negative ends, avoidance of all needless

given, has always sufficed to place him in a state of incontestable
& implacable hostility with the interest &

of which the community is composed. Money, power, factitious
honor & dignity, faculty of gratifying the appetite
for vengeance, faculty of enjoying the perfection of ease
— whatsoever of the external instruments of felicity in any of these
