ssfscsions upon the press. Men may
dare to rule BY ignorance and q per

may be fsttered by brute force, but
this very persecution will hasten the
overflow Of corrupt power. The
Court OF Star Chamber was the first

natur from the State: but truth and free
dom forced their way through secret

brought to the scaffold and lost his

system Of restraint in order to sup
port ais power, and his head tumblcd.
