Gentlemen, it seems to me that no Christian should ever find a man guilty of blasphemy after that, but that the very word ought to be wiped from your vocabulary, as a reproach and a scandal.

Christians, your founder was murdered as a blasphemer, for, although done judicially, it was still a murder.

Surely then you will not, when you have secured the possession of power, imitate the bad example of those who killed your founder, violate men's liberties, rob them of all that is perhaps dearest to them, and brand them with a stigma of public infamy by a verdict from the jury-box! Surely gentlemen, it is impossible that you can do that! Who are we?
Three poor men.

Are we wicked?
No, there is no proof of the charge.

Our honor and honesty are unimpeached.
