Obligation of Laws
NOTE
It was Land that made these Statutes: I speak
it not to blacken them: nor as wishing to have
them judged of otherwise than from by themselves.
It is a deplorable shape to be reduced to, to judge
of past Laws by those that made them the makers: so of measures by the proposers. They are
but as they are, neither better nor worse because
he made them. But however, it
was Land that made them. It was Land
that also made Saunderson.† †Qn. in Biographic Britannica They were murmured

to use a Liturgy they never saw not yet made, was
murmured at. Saunderson stood forth to vindicate
them. Tis thus he vindicates them.
Tis thus they are to be vindicated.
The University of Oxford accepts, promulgates,
inculcates this vindication. They With the
System that it vindicates, they clasp it to
their bosoms. With every abuse that infects corrupts
the ecclesiastical establishment, they vow that
it shall be eternal. For why to &v says
one of their champions would be to acknowledge
&c.
