Qualification II
For the purpose
For this purpose in this and most other Qualification
- Acts 2 separate sanctions are provided
the one Civil, the Penalty; the other Religious
or Moral an the latter also [backed also by a penalty]
It may be asked for it seems it has been asked why not trust to the ordinary
sanction of the civil penalty?
To this it may be answered that, so invidious is in order to is one thing it is is
the good it it's effect upon delinquents some person
that some person should take upon him the quality
of informer: now so invidious is that character
& so precarious in the eyes of most men the benefit
to be reaped in this such a case like this by spurning it, that
this alone of itself would be but a weak dependance
it, the business is therefore to find many ways of giving it
: means are afforded by an other. The proof of this
One may, it is to be hoped without any very extravagent
compliment to human nature, venture
to suppose, that there are many persons who would run
the hazard of the penalty for the sake of getting
into an office, who yet would not run such
lengths for it, as over enough & above that penalty,
to incur the peril and the guilt of Perjury.
The number therefore of such persons is the measure of
the accession of strength which the the
from this expedient.
considered as a function , being [Directory
part of ] the provision Nor is the <add>its utility [which belongs to] of this expedient is it as a strictly function, its only utility is in the nature of it to forwards the enforcement of the upon those against Delinquents whose temerity it was itself insufficient to restrain</add>
But it is not only itself a sanction; but even
should it prove insufficient of itself again to stop the
temerity of a delinquent it forwards the enforcement
of the other.
For the reasons that have been just alledged
it can hardly be expected that the pecunicary motive
for putting the penalty in force should act but as an auxiliary to that of resentment:
some violent dissention must commonly have arisen, some
flagrant mismanagement have been committed,
or some very obnoxious person been have intruded, himself,
before he any ma a man any one can be found enlist himself for such purpose in the service of the Law for such purpose. who will [take
arms offered by the Law]and gets at the bidding of the Law
Now this resentment will be strengthened highlighted at the
same time that an apology for the world for venting it will
be furnished by an act that deflects such
ire odium upon the agent as does doth an act of
perjury.
[From what has been said ] we may were be enabled in
some mesure given a to determine the expedient 3 whether it was the pretended
futility or the real strength that brought it
under the displeasure of the who has been our dispensing Legislator:
