What Idea of it had Hales? none. What
idea of it had Holt? as little
[I pass say nothing of ordinary judges — I speak of
those whose integrity and zeal for every other
right of the people were proverbial.
Now if there was none in those times, how
should it have come scarce?
What Judge should have said — The Law, the
Common Law which I have in charge, punishes
those who utter any thing [to in the] reproach
of public men. I like not that Law.
I will be myself & by myself a the Legislature:
I will make a new one.

There was a certain Pope, & that Pope committed
a Crime. & as there was nobody else
to judge him he judged himself: & the judgment was to be burnt:
& burnt he was. One may conclude what
became of him afterwards — he was dubbed
a Saint.
Tis a very edifying lesson Tis one of the best things a Pope can do, and like many other very edifying lessons wants nothing
but probability Such saints in these times are not abundant. the practise of it, however,
in this country would have rather an odd effect: we
would not prevent be rather
should soon have not none left to govern
on earth, but saints in heaven. and upon [this] occasion [we are now speaking of]
I should be loth however to recommend it
to be followd practised on the present occasion.
The effect of it would be rather whimsical
& would save the Jesuits the expence of
Gunpowder: we ask people might go to
bed over-night, & the next morning as an Irish friend of mine observed have
none to govern them us upon earth, but saints
in heaven.
