SECT: Parts of a Law.
belongs to the whole of the Law together. Is it that
it says that he shall restore and pay? No, for that belongs
to the sanctional part, the if moment this sort of
Law is understood to have a sanction belonging
to it, and that sanction any meaning. Or, to
come at last to the truth of things, and to give this remedial
part something of a sense (tho' very inappositely
indicated by the term). It is not the case thus after allthat that
it bids a somebody else and not Gaius to take
the field from Gaius and give it back again to Titius, and also to take moneys worth from the
same Gaius to and give it to the same Titius, under
the name of damages (that is reparation of damages)
sustained by him by from being so long out of it?
Whatever the Law does, whatever it "makes" a man
do, it does, it makes him do by lauding speaking. It has
a mouth. It has no hands. In the directory part
it bids, in the sanctional part it prophecies.
In the remedial part (of that complex
apparatus I mean which our Author treats as
if it were one Law). In the remedial part it bids
another man other men than from to whom it bid and prophecied to before to fulfill the such prophecy ⊞ ⊞ (I speak here of a Law with a penal sanction.) upon the
of the first man in case of his disobedience.
