NONCON.
Opinion of it's mischievousness, tho' the ostensible not
the real cause of the hard measure it meets with.
1st proof — that Persons who upon all other occasions

stronger against that which is committed with
Brutes, than against that which is committed with
the Human species: & with now the mischief to
Society is in the reverse order

by force precipitates out of it another. — One thing we

somebody in a every company must die, he who holds it would rather
the lot should fall upon any other person by he who he will than upon himself: a desire natural
& pardonable enough, but not a extraordinarily
proper to found the of to a & inflexible .
