evils. The ends of judicature consist respectively in the avoidance
to give birth to those several evils, say in the avoidance of those evils.
The main body of the whole field of law and thence the main body of the law itself is sometimes considered
as dividing itself into three branches, viz. the non-
penal, the non-penal, and the constitutional branch.
Correspondent to this division may be the distribution
of the evils correspondent and opposite and correspondent to the ends of
judicature.
Of the ends of judicature such as are referable to correspond to correspondent
the penal and non-penal branches of law may be distinguished
out the direct and the collateral

4(a) Commonly called civil. But civil
where employed as an adjunct to the word law, the
word civil is indiff moreover employed as signifying to signify
non-constitutional, or non-political, (with allusion to allusion made
foreign political) or non-military, or non ecclesiastical law:
and is also commonly employed to designate Rome-bred
as law and, in Rome-bred law itself, it is and as synonymous
to non-canon law. – A word which is used
promiscuously in so many different senses, – all of
them which all of them requiring to be distinguished from each other, and in the way for ease
in no not longer fit for use all of them on occasions on which they require
to be distinguished from each other – is not fit for use incapable
of answering the purpose of him who wishes to understand, or of him
who wishes to be understood.
