In the cause of thisreading 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:-
by the power for which he was contending was not meant
by him to be compleatly arbitrary: but that something ofby 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."
In a judicial act"On the occasion of three thingsconnected objects are req regularly
brought to view - 1. the general rule - 2. the supposedfacts which
are supposed to bring the case under that rule: 3. and
the evidence by which the existence of those several facts
is made out or endeavoured to be made out to the satisfaction
of the Judge need to return of those to whom it belongs to Judge.
[+]
Now where theso it is, that where the fate of the transgressors transgressor is determined by
the text of a law of an article of statute law all these objects are all of them brought to view [+] Compare each law in to these pointsthis point. the footing in which the in that point another stands under the law itself, where there is one and that in which it stands under that system of bition, distance which to declared complacency approbation the reverend Doctor beholds substituted to the law.
brought to the view of the public - of course: and thusin this way
of any one of them be left by the Judge by the
individual in whom the fate of individ each supposedindividual transgressor
individually depends - any one of them be left unnoticed, or
mis-stated, the insort of responsibility above mentioned attacks
and the Judge stands exposed to censure.
