"Swept into the net"
Fishing not its probably
& not clerical
habits suggested the
to Paly the justification
of the English
law by this metaphor "It sweeps into the net" (viz. into the net of capital
punishment) "every crime "(says he) which under any possible
"circumstances may merit the punishment of death."
On this occasion a prophesy may be pointed out, and
that prophecy fulfilled, a prophecy which, unless it be by Lord Bacon, + +
has not seems scarce as yet to have been numbered among aggregated to the
the catalogue number of prophecies — pleut super cor laguere.
Fishing, if the print or net of him is to be believed, was
among the Reverend Doctor's favourite diversions:- man man is, not on
this occasion chosen by him for his game - and in
this way it it is that it seemed good to him for men to become
fishers of men. It was not in this sense that his
divine Master commanded his disciples to become "fishers
"of men: it was not for the purpose of being destroyed,
no not so much as the reverend Doctor's title of this — it was not for the purpose not of being destroyed but of being
saved, that his nets were spread. the net of the Apostle was commanded to be spread and that with
satisfaction he considered they were by him as "swept into" it.
