made in the empire of Mexico as the
Reverend Tutor of I forget what College
in Cambridge did in proving the necessity
of the exact number made in England
and with a right accommodation to circumstances
the same arguments might
have served.
The Mexican sacrifices made in the
Mexican Stile being no longer in fashion are
no longer justified. But when the Religion
which was supposed to prescribe them
was destroyed, it was destroyed not by
reason but by a religion which in that
as instance as were as so many others
proved still more destructive.
"The law of England" (continues
the Reverend Doctor) "in constructed upon
"a different and a better policy. By the
"number of Statutes creating capital offences
"it sweeps into the net every crime which
"under any possible circumstances may
"merit the punishment of Death but when
"the execution of this sentence comes to be deliberated
