cause him, say rather to force him,
leaving only the time and the quantum

the everlasting punishment as
assumed to follow as a thing of course.

When will legislator and
Judges cease to be suborners of perjury?
of perjury on an all-comprehensive scale?

The passion for these Universal
Oaths, and (which is the same thing,)
for perjuries, can there be no means of administering
to it's gratification without
this boundless expenditure of crime, immorality
and consequent misery? If without
the special and specific mischief
produced in so many shapes as above,
simple oaths, with correspondent perjuries
will content them, perjuries, of both

Individuals they thus
invest with the power of pardon — thus do
these sworn guardians of the Kings prerogative
