In the course of this reading of the above<add>Reverend Doctor's</add> sermon, two or three timeshere and there, a suspicion,
I must confess had come across me, of the Doctor's being in earnest:-
that the power for which he was contending was not meant
by him to be compleatly arbitrary: but that something of by way of
check, in the shape of moral responsibility at least was
meant by him to be recommended by him as proper to
be applied to it. The act by which it was to be exercised
was to be "a judicial act": the "dependence" of "the executive
"of the sentence upon.." the quality and circumstances of the crime"
was to be not only "believed" but "known" to be the case " in
and this " in each part of the proceeding."
