MAXIMS Use of their mutual dependency.
When a series System of Provisions are governed by mutually dependent —
one common end reason <add>design</add>, that end [when apprehended]
is a Bond which ties them together and suffers
them not to slip out of the memory
That common design is to the System what the Cellular Membrane is to the Human body
A Bundle of Provisions which are all [positive]
co-ordinate & independant, are a rope of sands
which when accumulated in large numbers, are
not retained without the utmost difficulty
in so leaky a Vessel.
All such as are capable of it, that is, as are comparate should be put into Sub-alternation, in manner as Words are in the Vocabulary
Maxims being very various in their extent &
application should be gather'd together in
groupes in which those which are related should be placed in due sub-ordination to each other
instead of being made all co-ordinate as
the way is in those collections which are to be
met with in books. +
+ Bacon's Wingates Heath's
The consequence is, that many of them, having
thus none above them to limit them, are so wide that
when presented to the intellect it cannot take them in, and many other
a not having their extent examined previous to their being
utter'd, are not true.
