indecent liberty

indecent liberty
a) Any behavior beyond the limits of propriety.

The intention of this preface is not to persuade mankind to enter into our quarrels, but to vindicate the author from being censured for taking any indecent liberty with a faculty he has the honour to to a member of.

b) Sexual behavior beyond social or legal limits.

It would, therefore, hardly be deemed an indecent liberty in the most private citizen, to offer his thoughts to the consideration of the Executive.
