Custom: for it is a rule

Another difference between these import of the word

a course of action. What is expressed by the word Maxim
not so is applied not to express itself itself any course of action, but a species of discourse:
a proposition arranged predicated advanced concerning
courses of action such as customs are.

That of three brothers, the eldest, and not the

in such a case", when formed into a regular
proposition, may be stated a maxim: because
it is a proposition standing in chief over
the propositions expressing how the case has been
or shall be in the several individual instances
of such a succession that have happened or
shall happen.
