As to "relaxation of security', no task occupation surely can be
more amicable. But why thus labour to service give" to the benignity of
"the crown" - if the crown alone - the monopoly of it?
Though, so much to the satisfaction of the reverend Doctor, statutes laws
may be and are more times out of turn are made of no effect by being dispensed
with by the crown alone, they can no more be made
by the Lord and Commons without the Crown, than by the
Crown without the Lords and Commons. The Crown
then, in virtue of that benignity which is inseparable from
it, being so constantly disposed to relax the severity of
of these "last and highest sanctions", as often as circumstances
of any better sort, position or injative, are heard
to call for such relaxation, why not in its over for its legislation
inpunity, as well as, by an everlasting a never-ending and indefatigable
repetition, in its execution? character Aye: but, by any
for answer by way of answer to this question, comes the Reverend
Dd Doctor's fundamental distinction and discovery, of a sit about the
eyes of inexpressible indescribable circumstances, which it is to easy
to perceive after they have happened, and so impossible
to express before. they have happened.
