So again, in when, speaking of the dependency of the fate of the
convict upon "the quality and circumstances of his' crime
he gives us to understand that his meaning is to insist
upon its being "known"- the word known is only for show
and to catch the ear and eye: thus done, the slider
of the magic lantern is pushed on, and the word left
believed to instantaneously employ'd substituted in an instant, to take and keep
possession of the mind, Knowledge, when perception is
out of the case, requires [+] evidence: at least belief requires
[+] if not perception
none. neither. But the putting the public in possession of any
sort of evidence, particular evidence, by which it
would be possible for them to form using specifically grounded
judgement in this regard paid by the Judge to the lesson lecture
less delivered for his use, would have been altogether repugnant
to and incompatible subversive of with the an essential part of the
reverend Doctor's system. As And Hence it is that, as soon
as the purpose of show is answered, has been provided for, knowledge which
requires evidence the sort of persuasion which, is immediately explained away, by
giving place to belief which a sort of persuasion which
requires none no evidence, and which in the eyes of so many
authors composers of sinister sermons is the more meritorious, the
more destitute it is, of and the more strongly opposed by evidence,
No:- lind that the idea of knowledge - knowledge persuasion grounded in conducive evidence -
had they been really the idea intended meant to be left upon the mind, no such
word as b belief could would have accompanied, or at least have
followed it, Belief with knowledge is surplussage: belief
after knowledge is an anti-climax.
