thus plain and positive would produce in their
minds an impression rather more efficacious,
that what has been seen produced, as alone, by the
punishment supposed to be attached to a disregard
for the purely human and recently invented
ceremony.
But, for the use of so useful
an instrument of profitable maleficence, no
punishment is too great to be encountered. "The
punishment" (they say,) what matters if"?
"Turning aside from it, we extinguish it."
The thus imagine supernatured
punishment - has it really any
efficiency in the character of an auxiliary for
human punishment, and a security against
maleficence in it's several shapes? If yes,
why thus narrow the benefit producible by it?
Why not make out at once a compleat list
of maleficent acts of all sorts, fit to be in due
form of law, converted into offences? This
done, collectively or upon occasion severally,
the promissory declaration may be attached
to them, and the book kissed.
This done, and not before,
concistency will take the place of it's opposite,
and the practice of swearing, against conviction,
cease.
