June Obs

The same thing may still be said of the oath
of sincerity with which this unanimity is preceded:
though this also is frequently dwelt upon as a
spiritual and very happy circumstance; &
is from the combination of these happy circumstances
with the two preceding ones that an English Jury
as at present constituted and for ages used up by
English lawyers, may be defined with indefensible
truth <add>accuracy</add> a body of seasoned Judges whom the law
has brought together in order to instruct them
by torture compacted to give a false judgement at
by Perjury.

Note to p. 9. continued.

The Law Common Law of England has been
much magnified for its supposed humanity magnanimity in rejecting
the use of torture: the plain truth is, that, refusing
to apply it to any of the very few the good purposes and it has been applied
to by other nations she has all along been applying a applied
it to useless purposes and to bad ones. It was never applied employ'd to obtain the known a direction to access and of their known accomplices. It was till
lately appliedemploy'd to force an to comply with
an carelessformality: it is to these uses applied to load an unknown twel proportion of twelve innocent men with unnecessary
guilt.
