Inserenda. Construction.

☞ To come in at p.

The two next rules that follow are of a sort which
a man might go on making to all eternity:
which nobody could gainsay, and for which nobody
could be the wiser.

The first is to tell you, that you we are not to take
which part you please of a Statute and carry
it into effect: but that if you take one part you
must take the other another.

The second may be of considerable use is to direct the Judge when the
Legislature is stark mad: and It tellsyou what
you are to do, when you think their his meaning
is to contradict themselves and others but himself point blank: In this case you are
to do as they bid you first, and not as they
bid you last. Suppose him to have another meaning andIf you think they have [– In any case but where you think
meaning, the rule is that you have nothing they soon their meaning is to contradict themselves] the rule does not apply.⊞ ⊞ For then [it is not their the Legislators meaning to contradict in one clause, what they he has been saying in a former] neither one nor the other clause is to be thrown out: they may & I ought to [stand] have effect together
to do with. I shall give them both rules without any
further comment.
