Note

(a) Blackstone in speaking of some of these habitual violations
of the Juryman's oath, terms them terms
them pious perjuries. I do not comprehend
How piety the apellation pious can in any case belong be used coalesce
with perjury is more than I can comprehend: the perjury humane would have been a juster
epithet and a more rational excuse. For
Juries themselves, especially where the laws which
they turn into a dead letter are so par consummately
iniquitous and detestable as those against
suicide, let it be an excuse: let it be a justification.
But what shall I we say of the
robed and of the mitred guardians of law
morality and religion, who see perjury become
habitual and <add>universal, and resolve that it shall continue
on so for evermore.</add> these things done
and choose they should be done for ever
to be so for ever? In the perjury itself the guilt of is more
or less effaced <add>impiety</add> by the humanity of the motive
impiety has humanity to atone for it: but what
is there either of piety or humanity in the the wilful and
perpetual subornation?
