of this indulgence will seek and will obtain indulgence
for falsehoods of a less venial nature. Men in short
will be distracted in their judgments, they will not
know what falsehoods to excuse pardon and or what to condemn;
and upon the whole it is evident that the
general sum of disappr censure indignation power with which the moral sanction would otherwise act in the community
must [at the ] be much weaken'd,
and
pronounced
upon falsehood in general must be much abated.
In the mean time as it is the peculiar property
of this tribunal for the same person to be at the same
time Judge and Executioner, so long as there are any
of its members whose suffrages are against a man
he is thereby subjected to a proportionable degree of punishment.
If his sensibility So long as he continues sensible to the force of this sanction in
not destroyd, he suffers is reduced to a state of suffering and this suffering is an evil. If he grows callous,
the evil takes another shape: the lik most of the
tutelary motives [loses ]has lost
its hold upon on him
and he becomes a
dangerous incubus of
the community.
