With much the same propriety, I trow, as we might be sent to an act for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, or to a bill of attainer in order to learn the extreme care which our Constitution takes of the Lives, and Liberties of the Subject. This idea I believe scarcely struck our Author, but happily he recollected that, & Happily our Author recollected that The
