1. By so simple a process as the declining
to act apart in this ceremony,— any man, who
has been the sole percipient Witness to a crime
may, whatsoever be that crime: murder or still
worse - after appearing as summoned, give
impunity to it: without the trouble or formality,
producing thus the effect of pardon: sharing
thus with his majesty this branch of the prerogative,
and even in cases, in which his said
majesty stands debarred from exercising it.

2. By the same easy process, in a case
called Civil, may any man give to any man
any estate of any other man.

Not quite so easy, (says somebody.)
For would not this be a contempt? and would
he not of course be committed?

Maybe so: But when the murderer
had been let off, or the man in the right
had lost his cause, would the commitment
last for life? In a word what would become
of it?

But to no such peril need
he expose himself. A process there is which
is still easier, "I am an Atheist". He need
but pronounce these four wourds. The pardon
is sealed: or Doe's Estate is given to Roe.

But of this, more presently -

Behold now perjury established
by law: established on the most extensive-established
on an all - comprehensive scale: established
by impurity, coupled with renumeration,

extension given to it in criminal cases?
So much for Needlessness.

2. Now as to inefficiency. Considered
with reference to the purpose here in question,
Oaths, stand distinguished into assertory
and promissory: But in both cases, the sanction
is precisely the same: Take then for examples
oaths of the promissory sort: because
these stand clear of various points of contestation,
which have place in the case of
assertory Oaths: whereas in the case if a promissary
oath, if violations has place, seldom
does the fact of the violation stand
exposed to doubt.

Now then for the examples - Example
the first. Protestant fees in Ireland,

Bishops 22; Archbishops 4:
together, Previously to investiture, Oath
taken by every Bishop, promising to see that
in every parish within his diocese, a school of
a certain description shall have place - Of
the aggregate of these Oaths what, in the year
1825, was the aggregate suit? Performances
782; perjuries 480. When received and communicated;
(So at least says the solemn Office)
— when received and communicated, behold
the preservative power of the Holy Ghost in
these minds against perjury.

Example the second. In England
through the University of Oxford pass one half of
the 12,000 or 13,000. Church of England Clergy;
