of putting a form of words into a man's mouth giving a man to mumble
number of Oa of putting an oath into a mans
upon his entrance into office, whereby a form of words
mouth as a matter of course upon his entrance

as a matter of course, a formul <add>form of words calling itself
into an office, is a piece of carelessness which
an oath, and promising to do what is right and proper, is such an instance
of legislative indifference,
as
though not in so high a degree has a tendency
of the same kind.

What I mean by this is - not that no such to reprobate
thing as an Oaths of office as a species of supposed ought to be imposed - that
obligation necessarily impotent, and incapable of being
nothing under that name can be made of use -
applied to any use, On the contrary, if properly constructed, it appears
to me that in the instance of the office in question, as well as of every other every office it might
if constructed as it might and ought to be be, made of the highest use. But seeing before
me nothing under that name but what is nugatory, I should deem it
an act of imprudence to come
forward with on
such an occasion
with any thing
I would do attempt to propose any thing under this
name that shall not be otherwise than nugatory: it
would be unusual - innovational - utopian: and
in proportion as it promised to be efficient if adopted
it would be in danger of appearing ridiculous, if when
proposed.

Unhappily for candour, veracity & moral honesty the
practice of imposing feeding
old and young with
false oaths has
been regarded as taken for one
of the pillars of religion:
and that
practice of imposing
trifling acts
is too near of
kin to it, not
to have come in,
tho' perhaps unperceived, on for a course
of the same
month. At no time attempt
(though some of them )
seem and the to there
being said , to give some
thing of this particular
sort
