But (says somebody) if considered in a general and
abstracted point of view these several modes of conduct, does has
not the end they have in view merit also a claim to consideration?
and in consideration of that end is not softening some mitigation due to
the evasion conveyed by such harshdenominations? names?
In this apology Here then In the apologies made persecuted in this
strain we see the mischief: - the mischief which it is the
object of this section to present in its genuine true colours.
A cloak made for the some of most pernicious abuses that
government or morality are susceptible of. Discuss in
a variety of pernicious forms called in, propriety and
wantonly called in, and diligently placated applied, in the character
of a remedy.
Yes If the nature of the case admitted of us more
other remedy, the apology would have some weight,
and the advantage of taking an account of profit and
loss on both sides, loss from the first disease, and from the
second profit by lessening the mischief softening the symptoms of the first, might
perhaps pay for the expence.
But the first disease, the local disease avers the mischief produced
by the ill chosen punishment being purely fastitious, the
universal disease the consequence is - that - the universal incly introduced
by the intended pretended palliatives, - is altogether void of use without necessity <add>optimal and unnecessary</add>:
The only pretence you have for introducing and keeping a
foot the second disease is your keeping in fact the first:
cease to keep in fact the first, the mischief you do by
keeping in fact the second will be void of all pretence.
