There will may be however a in speaking
of a service as derived, or say extracted, or elicited from a
thing: in which case it might also, upon occasion
be considered as performed, done or rendered by a thing: at any rate
by an animated thing – a beast of burthen or saddle.
Subject matters of benefits derived or say sources
The Sources from whence benefits and the corresponding services are derived, are
either really existing or imaginary.
Really existing sources from whence benefits
and the correspondent services are derived are either 1. persons 1. things or 2. things persons
Imaginary sources from whence benefits are
derived are things incorporeal: fictitious beings or as
from the Latin some say fictitious entities.
Question. To what purpose speak of these fictions
as if they were real? Answer. Because by lawyers
they have had names given to them; names by means of which
names they are made to present themselves to imagination
and conception, as if they were really in had a real existence.
Nor indeed, as we shall see, by the Legislature as we shall see could the necessary
engagement arrangements be made without thus speaking of them.
Meantime it may at once be necessary, and sufficient
– to observe – that they are not any of them no one of them all is one anything
else but than a particular service or aggregate of services extracted from
a thing, from an aggregate of things, or from an aggregate of
persons, or from an aggregate composed of persons and
things. Further than this, it will be time enough to speak
of these fictions when the correspondent realities, to which they correspond out of which they have
been derived, have been previously sufficiently brought to view.
☞ Give here an exemplification of an incorporeal source
of benefit.
