without regard to extent is this supposed.
Fulfilled, at all times, upon every
crime which was within the grasp of it.
Every crime of the description in question being
thus provided for at the time in question, -
whatever that time was - the time at which
this was writing - what could have been
left for the wisdom and vigilence of succeeding
legislations; and yet this same
chancemedly work has been going on ever
since still scanty as well as still exuberant.
"It sweeps into the net" (viz: into the
net of Capital Punishment) "every crime"
(says he) which under any possible
"circumstances may merit the punishment
"of death". On this occasion a prophecy
may be pointed out and that prophecy
be fulfilled, which unless it be by Lord
Bacon seems scarce as yet to have
been aggregated to the 'Catalogue of Prophecies
Pluit supercos. Fishing of the
of him is to be believed
was among the Reverend Doctors favourite diversions.
