I think putting thieves to death is not lawful; and it is plain and obvious that it is absurd and of ill consequence to the commonwealth that a thief and a murderer should be equally punished.
Eg haldi ikki, at deyðarevsing fyri tjóvar er lóglig; og tað er eyðsæð, at tað ikki gevur meining og hevur avleiðingar fyri tjóðveldið, at tjóvar og mordarar fáa somu revsing.
