The Stuart Stuart kings were not, any of them, - overfond
of hearing, either in the shape of a sermon or any other shape
any discourse in believing in it any such supposition as
raw power of any kind, which resting in their hand,
could be susceptible of abuse. Yet a man might have
ventured to answer for the least patient of them, that a
very few millions a year would have been sufficient
to punish him to the ceremony hearing a sermon
in this strain once a week " or of and to often" reserving
to the royal hearer the same power faculty which seems to
have been exercised by the reverend another, — the faculty
of nodding from time to time, desiring the delivery
of it.
May it please your Majesty, your Majesty ought not
to do wrong.
May it please your Lordship, your Lordship ought not
to do wrong.
And could it seriously leave intend into the conception
of any human being not as yet fallen into absolute delays
to
concern that when a man is urged by interest in passion
to do wrong in any charge find a man urged by interest
or passion so even incurious judgements to committ it, it
is in the pain of a punishment in this strain, spoken
or written to stay the offending hand?
