"dishonour of God." "And yet," observes
Judge Blackstone, "notwithstanding this
"laudable" (and he might have added
this constantly and naturally inefficient)
"zeal, no man was more tender of life
"than this truly excellent Judge."
Precious niceties! precious strictness
was there ever such an abuse of words?
Strictness? in what? in the execution of the
law? of that part of the law which is
committed to the Judicial power to execute?
No: but in the application of the shameless
pretence set up for breaking it.
Law over easy! 'Strictness' (viz such
as above) grown to be a blemish! as if there
were ever a moment in which it was not
a censure — crime and act of contempt against the
legislature — a crime which had it met
with its deserts would have drawn the
Author or Authors with ignominy from the
Bench.
Grown to be a blemish? Grown indeed!
so then in itself the practice like that of
eating is right and like eating becomes wrong
