I confesse some evils must be scattered with the wheele, but where the eye can doe it, it is farre the better, Prov. 20. 8. 26. Basil the Great noteth it in his times as a custome in secular judicature, not to give sentence on a malefactour, Nisi prius obductis velis. The judges withdrew themselves under a Curten, considered weightily the merits of the fact, heard what could bee alleaged in favour of the delinquent, used all mercifull consultation, to let it appeare that when they punished sinne, yet they pitied humanitie. |
