Suppose any one were to make a meal of what
has been already eaten? I must confess, I should not be
much disposed to mess with him: If I were of a warm
and impatient temper, who knows but it is possible I might be so enraged
at the notion of his filthiness, that I might be glad to
see him hanged? Who knows but I might? the
same wish has not seldom been entertained upon no better reason:
But whether it were fit the state should indulge me in such a
wish may to be consider'd.

I would wish any being to consider [It is
curious may be to think what would have become
of Socrates &, Titus the delight of mankind, Cicero the
Father of his country &c — They had they lived in
these latter days — They would have finished on
our gibbets.
