SECT. Municipal Law Inserenda

Definition of Each Rule
each of these individual actions if there were distinction made a
of them the Law must in it's consequences apply
itself severally. What should hinder it from taking
say one of them to apply itself to in its first intention?

Definition of a Law
Cicero – Privileg.

Errare mallem cum Platone quam (ten)cum recte
sentire
is his our Author's motto: and then our Author is too humble and too resolute in his humility not to have many Plato's has
many Plato's: about as many, amongst others, as
there are dead "sages" of the Law.

Cicero – Privilegium.
Cicero was punished on pretence of by an act of the people grounded said the defenders of it on a Law already subsisting
forbidding which declaring that the punishment of death
should not be inflicted on any criminal / by any Magistrate on any Roman Citizen:
this being which is what he had done. If that the act of the people
by which he suffer'd was grounded on that Law,
it was a sentence and not a law from in the of nature of the act in it's own
nature+ + in it's effect, tho' as Law in virtue of the authority
from whence it issued: if not grounded on any such a sentence tho' pronounced in
Law, did by a tribunal undoubtedly lawful tho' perhaps as being an act of the supreme power
not expedient in the State, tho' perhaps, and for that very reason, not expedient.
If not grounded on as offence against that Law, since in others it was
not pretended to be grounded on any other particular act was objected to him, it was as
Law. It was still an act of the supreme power certainly therefore
legal, probably not expedient: the end of it was the
disablement of the particular obnoxious person: the actions
commanded by it were the acts requisite to be done
