SECT. Parts of a Law.

sanction is not the same thing with the sort he calls the declaratory
or he is talking of the sanctional when he means [should
be talking of] the declaratory, or his ideas
are so effectually confounded by his own "explication"
of them that he knows not one
from t'other.

"The case is the same with as to Crimes
"and Misdemeanours that are forbidden by the
"superior laws" (he means I suppose the Laws
of Nature and Revelation tho he would not say
so for the world) "and therefore stiled mala
"in se, such as Murder Theft and Perjury; which contract
"no additional turpitude from being declared
"unlawful by the inferior (I suppose
"the human legislature". The case is the
same he tells us with these crimes as with those duties:
so that whence we learn there is a certain "sameness"
between "crimes" and "duties", and between the "not
receiving any ad stronger sanction", and the
"contracting additional turpitude". If turpitude
means "mischievousness", who could ever have supposed
that there crime or that any crime become could additional mischievousness
by being punished punished or much less by being declared unlawful: that is
by being called a crime: if not it does not mean
mischievousness what is it that it does mean? else?
