Another not inconsiderable advantage of such a
plan would be, the checking giving proving a check to the exertions of that
political cunning empyricism, but too well understood and practised
, of clogging a Statute which it is found
impossible to prevent with a clause which shall
weaken or destroy it's efficacy. This the forlorn
hope of an empiric of this sort, when his not attempts to procure abortion have been forlorn to no purpose ineffective,
to infuse a person into the constitution of this Infant Law, which
renders it rickety & impotent through for life:
He never considers, it is to be hoped at least, that
he never considers, that the effects of this operation disease thus inoculated by an
of this far from confining itself to the subject
operated upon spreads itself by contagion to the
whole body of which that subject is a member:
And that it issuch areas as these to which in no small degree that that we are
to indebted such arts as these that tottering unwieldiness
of the whole Law of which he himself perhaps
like that fat man idler and the crowd, will not be
backward to complain. It adds one to that confused heap
of Bodies that can scarce hardly crawl along with
others that are lifeless alltogether under which
as in a field of Battle Bodies many that of themselves
are sound & vigorous are smother'd.</p>

It were to be wished that Gentlemen men and that most
honourable of all stations would of themselves
unlearn these disingenious & uncandid artifices the mischief
of which tho' not immediately visible nor refutable

advantage be it's quantity admitted to be adequate taken even from

warrantable effort to impress their sense [of the

surely be no mean preservation to have a clause <hi rend="superscript">standing</hi>provision
ready appointed for that station, in comparison of which
this purposely vitious & defective one which should
be attempted to be substituted in it's room, would
of course be apt to show to a disadvantage.
At present one such clause provision is as good as another
and the comparative merits of none of them having
been systematically considered, any a superficial colour
may be adapted to some aspect of the particular case & in
question may serve to carry the preference;
But when the case would be far different, if where
a supporter may always have to say to an insidious opponent
of this cast. This is what provisionthe clause which byafter a
systematical & well-considered resolution has always in all others
cases been appointed to occupy this station, wherein is it that you
found yourself in contending that this now for this first

to prevent varieties, should yield to the variety
which you now propose? It there be any peculiarity
in this case which renders the ordinary standing one improper,
show it us: if not seek not to wantonly confound that order
which it cost so much [trouble] to establish.
