Opinion of it's mischievousness, tho' the ostensible not
the real cause of the hard measure it meets with.
1st proof — that Briars who upon all other occasions
are insensible to that show no signs of sensibility. to that consideration
shall be amongst the most furvous in their zeal
2d That their zeal rises in proportion as against the several species of it
those species are physically more odious: being
stronger against that which is committed with
Brutes, than against that which is committed with
the Human species: & with now the mischief to
Society is in the reverse order

somebody in a every company must die, he who holds it would rather
the lot should fall upon any other by he who he will than upon himself: a desire natural
& pardonable enough, but not an

on the Poor Laws 226. & would proceed with all possible expedition
to make proscribe them by<add>the person</add>
sanguinary Laws, while a project
tho´never so well devised for the cure of the
latter evil would lie upon the Table.of the evil as it
depends upon the latter cause.
