did for its viz, the Suitors objects: that is to use the same current phrase
if it be reversed by a Judgement of a superior Court.
I say in the first instance; for if the inferior Judge
proves refractory, and persists in the enforcing of his order,
it is plain that ultimately it is his punishment
that will be necessary in order to make the custom
he would depart from binding upon on him. I say

it is a make by the prospect of his own punishment only by the can a
man be bound. But to in the mind of a Judge subject to feel
incessantly the controul of a superior Judge, the
ideas of a counter-command of t by such a superior and the punishment
of annexed to the non-observance of it are
so intimately associated, that the first is understood
to have the same effect upon the inferior Judge
to make his custom binding on him, as the prospect
of a specific punishment has upon the ordinary
subject.
