CERTAINTY Form of Comm. Law.

The Common Law is a vast region
full of Gulphs , which like that of Countries,
close not but by the swallowing up of some
human Victim : Gulphs , which it is [even thus]
it is has been a policy doubtless from wise & well-considerd
reasons, by Judges the greatest that have existed
but which perhaps may have been or sometimes
rather too rigorously perhaps ever &
anon too rigor adhered too
with a somwhat
more than necessary
rigor , but adopted for wise & well-consider'd
reasons adhered to, never to close
in a number beyond what is actually absolutely necessary
at once : closed, say they, by a hasty
and side breath, they are closed but imperfectly
& superficially the closure is imperfect & superficial: : tis then that by a delusive
shew of solidity the traveller instead of warning
him off they invite him upon a surface
which sinks as if it had never - - - — - —
under his feet. — Greater thus continues they
attain at first if it were as before in that man's fall

Nor can any advance
made in
this way towards
the improvement
[of the system] but
is purchased at the expence of a
considerable portion
of human happiness. The Magistrate congratulates himself with the Ideas his imagination
of & which prevents the where an important piece
of Law has received its settlement. But the Party at whose expence it was
these deliberations have been
conducted, finds but poor
comfort in all this for
the determination of.
