SECT. Interpretation. Inserenda

to, in order to find any meaning for them at all.
In the sort last, they are to be understood in their technical

Incapacity of Legislators the cause of these incongruous
expressions. This he should have mentioned.

It is a sort of rule with our Author on all occasions to cover up, and
prove to lay open the defects of Legislation: here
else would have been the place to have made a remark, that might have been of use useful. That it
is the incapacity and inattention of Legislators alone only
that can make it upon give currency to such bare expressions; and give occasion to call in any such
rules as he has given. There might be here remarked and for once have had ground for his elegisms on power, that great as are the defects blemishes I will not say defects of our Legislative
state (and great alas! are the defects blemishes
of our Legislative state!) instances of a incapacity want of
and inattention precision such as several of those he has produced with are altogether
rare.

I hope for the credit of the ancient (heros, if it was
he or whoever else it was) that he did not, even
in the way of supposition make the Law do so make
so foolish a provision, as to give the ship make a present to any
persons body (even passengers) who would stay in the ship
in a storm when others left here because here would be
a very commodious way of getting motive of the ship or other person without
the risque of piracy.
