Panopt.

Admitting for argument's sake that the sort of conduct charged ought to
be considered as an act of transgression misconduct, and that it
would have been committed by the Defendant appointed Governor, it could
not still it were not in the nature of it to afford any
justification or reason for taking the management out
of his hands any further than as an adequate
assurance could be obtained that in the new hands in which
it was the management was to be placed, this
same article species of misconduct would not have
place.

Two things propositions further assumption were therefore necessarily implied in
it, viz. that it is possible for a man to avoid this
species of supposed misconduct, and that by the hands which
it was intended to substitute to the appointed hands
it would actually be avoided.

But the of this supposed species of misconduct
it has above been shown that it is altogether imaginary
that the imputation is composed of words without a
meaning: that by those words nothing is designated no act determinate sort of
which it is possible for one man to committ, and
for another man to keep himself from clear of: or
and that therefore in the sort of pretended improvement or reformation
thus undertaken for was included the an undertaking
to perform that which by an eye of ordinary discernment
would be seen to be impossible to do what that
which besides being useless is impossible.
