VIII Jeopardy
The fate story of Proto and Timocrates was a romance:
that of and his bull was probably enough
so too: the suggested application of it may probably enough
in the eyes of the friends of the Right Honourable person
be regarded as too severe. It is not regarded however
in that light by the law of the land. A still severer
fate awaits them: Yes my Lord and their associates too,+ unless Parliament
in its wisdom, should vouchsafe to shew mercy to those
who have shewn none. I say Parliament: for
the mercy of the Crown was the King himself would here be as important,
to save the men by whom his power has been thus
authority abused, as his justice was to save from
their tyranny the multitudes who have been sacrificed to it.
+ in many a lofty
station
Thus speaks the Habeas Corpus Act: saith the Law and now
my Lord let these inventors of illegal punishment
these scourges of mankind—, these oppressors destroyers of the miserable
these organizers of despotism—these violators of the most
sacred principles of the constitution our matchless constitution—now
my Lord let them read and tremble.
Be pleased my Lord, to take a glance at
the Habeas Corpus Act; and should it appear worth the passage I am
present itself as worth notice, about to copy hand it over to those whom
appear unapprized Lordship, being as yet unapproved doubtless of these enormities, your Lordship has in a
high place more than once delighted to honour, with the name of friends:
and, but if after this disclosure the same illustration should be kindly contained
to them under the same name it is to compassion
I hope, and not to that grosser sympathy which is called fellow feeling sympathy that they will be indebted for
grosser that grossesr kind of sympathy, which in vulgar language is called
fellow-feeling, that they will henceforth be indebted for it.
who are so ready at
destruction, having neither
will nor understanding for
reformation
when they who having have neither
the will nor the understanding
to reform , are
so ready to destroy them
who for darkness sake
are so ready to destroy
those whom they have
who to save the trouble
of reforming are so ready
to destroy |^^^|
who send men out by law
to be in readiness to receive
the illegal punishment
that is in store for them
those perverters of justice
who make the law herself
the handmaid of oppression.
