So much for Legislators at large. Now Enter now
in conjunction such of them as are lawyers, and lawyers at large official and professional both in use, and professional at large, looked to
all of third by Legislators as their advisors:

4. lawyers of better the twoclasses, the official and the
professional These being the only persons, who to any can so much as profess
to have what the what the state of the law is,
as often as any proposal for amelioration is brought forward,
their opinion the opinion declared by them: by them is referred
to of course as a matter of course referred to as that in which the determination respecting
acceptance or rejection shall be grounded. But, it being
in the highest degree their interest that it shall be at the same time as little
known as possible, and as opposite to the abovementioned
interest of the people community in respect of the abovementioned ends of
justice as possible it follows of course so it is, that whatever
knowledge each man possesses is applied not to
the promotion of the change, if for that but to the prevention of it:
namely some either has direct prevent of it by any means, and in any way in an open and
direct way, or in a one disguised and indirect
say; by the main parts in law promotion of such narrow improvements apparent

and the validity of the reason arguments in favour of the plan, and the
futility of the ablest and strongest capable of being brought against
it, the more extensively procured.
