without any other exception than what
might have taken place had the prerogative
of pardon been exercised upon
more simple principles and without
any such refined and secret policy
the adoption and pursuit of which is
here supposed. Such is the argument
to which after awakening from his
nod the Reverend Doctor at the close
of this his paragraph returns and
with which he finishes.

After a particular observation which
belongs not to the present purpose, "The
"prerogative of pardon" (continues he in pursuit
"of the same general idea) "is properly reserved
"to the Chief Magistrate. The power of suspending
"the laws is a privilege of too high a Nature
"to be committed to many hands or to those
"of any other inferior Officer in the State. The King
"also can best collect the advice by which
"his resolutions should be governed, and is at
"the same time removed at the greatest distance
"from the influence of private motives"

Desultory as it is in the plan, as well
