S.1. p.5. Qy whether
it will not be
said that the use
of administering
the oath is to overawe
the witness not
to under the idea
of exercising a power
over the Almighty.
But the answer to
this is, that this
will be known to
the witness, or at
least to most witnesses,
and that they
awe they would
feel would be the
same without as
with the assistance
of the ceremony of
the oath.
A proof that a
power is considered as exercised
over the will of the
Almighty by the
performance of the
ceremony of the oath
is the number of
instances in which
the mendacity licence
is allowed to be &
is supposed to be
exercised with impunity.
I.6. p.12. Parliaments
impotency
in respect of mendacity
tracked
insisted upon
.
There is very
little difference
between the employment
in judicature
of the ceremony of
an oath or of
ordeal or of the
ceremony of an oath
- there being precisely
reason to expect
the special interference
of the Almighty
in the one case as
in the other.
