For what can be more prejudicial to the interests of intelligence than to falsify our real sentiments, to conceal the doubts which we feel in regard to our statements, or to maintain the validity of grounds of proof which we well know to be insufficient?

 It is certain we are infinitely touched with a tender sentiment, as well as with a great one. It is necessary to feel the sentiment and passion of pride in conformity to it, and to regulate our actions accordingly. This determination of place cannot be derived from the relation of phenomena to absolute time (for it is not an object of perception); but, on the contrary, phenomena must reciprocally determine the places in time of one another, and render these necessary in the order of time. Our general knowledge of human nature, our observation of the past history of mankind, our experience of present times; all these causes must induce us to open the door to exceptions, and must make us conclude, that we may resist the more violent effects of supreme power, without any crime or injustice. It therefore has subjective reality, in reference to our internal experience, that is, I have really the representation of time and of my determinations therein.
