to these sanguinary laws themselves, and
lenity being in his conception or at least

in virtue of their sanguinariness all that
remains for him to do with it is to "Vindicate"
it, i.e. to vindicate it from the
charge of being excessive.

But i in fact (what by this time
he had forgotten) the Charge which by what
he said at the outset he stood engaged to
prove in relation to the laws in question
is the Charge of "cruelty": and this Charge
after a momentary nod during which
he was dreaming that "lenity" not "cruelty"
was the Charge he had to vindicate them
