Thus far the signs employed are those of which discourse
is composed. Now for the form, in which the same effect is produced
or endeavoured to be produced without discourse: to wit by the sort of sign termed deportment

Thus far the course is inherently plain and clear.

that The form in which signs employed, the words of which the discourse is
composed may be express the audible form and or the visible
form: they will be may be equally determinate in both cases for they may
be the same in both cases. the one Of the one audible the import will be as little
exposed to dispute as that or the other, so long as the evanescent
the words are kept in memory, on the part of th all those
by whom having been heard they are kept in memory: not so on the part of
any individual, in whose instance they have, any of them
never been heard, or have ceased to be remembered.

Now comes a very different state of things: that in
which deportment is the only instrument of communication by
which the signification of the commands in question has been
made.

All day long Vestilus kept this in the same coat of his on his back.
On retiring to rest, he put it off. Cupidus observing him, woke
up and carried it off was carrying it off for my own use
Vestilus awaking and seeing me Cupidus had hold of him, and took him
before the Judge. The Judge ordered me him to be beaten for this:
and I was beaten he was accordingly.

While ICupidus was before the Judge, a man who was
possessing the art of writing, was in use to make memorandums of what passed before the Judge,
took (on this occasion, as on others a note of what passed was done an said and done.

In process of time, this note, together with a number of
other such notes, came to be put together, printed and published.
Subjoined to the statement made of the individual facts were
a few general observations, deduced or say inferred in the way of abstractions, from those
same particular facts, and expressed in the form of Rules.

[The Of this sort of rule is principally formed the Common Law]
Of this sort are all the and thus brought into existence
are all those portions of discourse, which are stiled Rules of
Common Law: of Common Law Maxims, though so improperly called Unwritten , in contra distinction
distinction to Statute law
which on this occasion is
stiled Written Law
