This be the publication opinion in question which has all
the appearance of being brought out published by authority, this
sentence is car accordingly drawn brought forward
above the rest by being printed in staring capitals:
and over and over again has it quoted and paraded
with since by lawyers declaimer after declaimer; in whose instance after lawyer when the
interest of the occasion and the moment happened
to become overbear the general and standing professional
interest above described.
But whoever has strength of mind to prefer the
evidence of his own reason to the documentary evidence afforded delivered by
these capitals, will see that no more absurd and
vapid scrap of declamation, are more unfit to serve
as a faithful guide to judgement never offered
out of a lawyers or other sophists mouth.
The object of all this invective is but a word:
a word near of kin in signifiable to the words
judgement and reason, and without which the purpose
exigence of discourse would with as much difficulty
be provided for as without eithr of those- "Exercising
dis a Judge according to this
a tyrant: and what is he if he does not exercise
it. For allall the ordinary the purposes of judicial
language the word discretion is scarcely less necessary
than the word judge: and suppose it in dispite
of impossibility suppose it discarded what would be
the consequence? that Judges honest are less than dishonest
would to oblige be substituted to it some other word, which
as soon as it had obtained fortune would equally
exposed[+] to the same pompous and nonsensical invective.a[+] to the assaultswhich form of the same pompous nuisance.
