in a public manner, for any person whatsoever except
where it would be an offence against Justice, provided they
do it spontaneously and peaceably and endeavour not to

of people themselves. The most effectual as well as
the mildest way of preventing their doing it in an
outrageous, tumultuous and mischievous manner is
to permit them to do it in a peaceable manner. The

administration to oblige the people to stifle their affections,
with the more violence they burst break out forth at last when
their patience is exhausted.
