The Grounds of Relinquishment. 1. Lapse of Time

8 Jany 1802

1. Lapse of time
This was pointed
out in J.B's
evidence for the purpose
of making them
ashamed of it but
in vain.

There are some prehensions predictions which have a tendency
to produce or promote their own accomplishment:—there
are others of which the tendency of which is to prevent it.
In my evidence to the Committed of Finance
there was a Your Lordship may have observed
a passage, which at that time there was history—which was
meant for prophecy—but of that kind of prophecy
which has nothing so much at least as to satisfy
false. You have been carrying on a plan of
deceit and treachery for these four years: you will
pursue this same plan with such improvements as
may the circumstances of the time may render necessary—
for the four years if I so long have or for forty years
if you dare: what I make it for is that
you may not dare. I tear the dirty secret from
the bosoms in which it was hatched that engendered it—I throw it out
into the kennel that befits it—in hope that
the scent stench of it may so offend the public
sense morals, as to render it unfit for use. Such
my Lord was the occasion—such the degree
of that passage in any prophetic—any vaguely prophetic history.
Well or ill aimed—your Lordship
knows but too well, how ill it has succeeded
such was the complexion—such the consistence of
the fruits it had to deal with—no effectual
impression was to be made upon—them by a plan
like mine.

It is acts as extinguishes
to individual
responsibility: the mode grand
spring of public virtue
the grant security against
dispunishable
crime, and against
that incapacity, which in
the service of the public
is itself a crime.
It is an extinguisher
to individual responsibility:
it is an extinguisher it is a cloak
to all misconduct
which is not sure
to strike in diametrical
opposition to
the letter or declared tenor
of some positive
or acknowledged law
by this most commodious
In the of all political

in the of
whole individuals of
all constitutions complexions and
all colours, capable
and incapable—pure
and impure, are
kneaded together into
one indistinguishable
mass, ill desert is
robbed covered as
much as possible
form all punishment
good ill desert
robbed of all reward.
