SECT. Interpretation. Inserenda.

First to be considered whether they want stand in need of foreign interpretation:
and th if they do, then from what source
to draw it.

First to take the case of one a single Law.
The words of the Law are supposed to be given.
If there is a difficulty in understanding the meaning
of them, or a danger of misunderstanding them,
the course to be taken in for putting a finding the true meaning
on them is this. 1st there are certain particulars
that are to be attended to in and concerning the
words themselves. 2dly case if these considerations
afford not light sufficient, then we must travel
out of the Law for information. and

In the words of the Law we are to consider prefer; 1st that that
signification of the phrase taking it together is most
likely to be the one intended, which is the most
usual and popular one; more so than that which
results from the original import of them the same words considering
them singly as it were before combination; considering
the sense they the phrase would bear if the elementary parts of it were now to be put together
were for the first time. 2dly Whether there be any
of them that singly or in combinationare technical terms terms of art: terms that have
either no sense but that in which they have been
used in discerning of some certain articles relative to a
particular art or science or occupation: or that over and above their ordinary one have acquired
a certain peculiar one, while employ'd in the
purposes of that art of science or occupation. In the first case
Books of Foreign instruction relative to or persons conversant in that art science or occupation must be resorted.
Foreign instructions in writing or by word of mouth
