In Wilkins we have has made a large collection of Laws
subsequent as well as prior to the Norman conquest:
Laws of the Conquerer himself, of his
for Henry and of Henry the second. Here then
was the place to have accounted for However none of
these Laws are printed in the ordinary Collections of the Statutes
nor recognised for ages before the first copy of the Statute
Book was published, have been recognised or binding, at
the same time that there is no notice extant of their having been.
Here then was the place to have accounted for
this singularity: And to have remarked that the supineness
and inattention of Legislators, who seem to have
abandoned their ordinances to the mercy of a Printer.

88.

Substituting their own fluctuating and unconjecturable
unforetellable notions of expediency in the room of
the simple genuine expression of the Legislator's will: not
knowing or not heeding that it is for the
Judges to set the first example of obedience,
and that the Magistrates best motto is, Gloria
in obsequis. What the subject sees, he eyes may
perhaps obey: what he does not see, he can not obey.
What he does must see is the Will of the
Legislator when it is intelligibly expressed:
What he does not see can may or may not see in general without being
told of it, is the mischief to be averted
or good to be attained that permitted became the motive
to that Will.
