Ch. 9. Of Precipitation.

The word delay can scarce present itself without
presenting bringing along with it the idea of precipitation. In A sketch having
for its object the bringing to view the evils incident to the system
of procedure would be apt to seem imperfect if no such
word as precipitation were to be found in it. Delay,
unnecessary or preponderant delay – is an excess; precipitation
is another the opposite one: if one excess is thus prolific abundant in mischief, can
the other be altogether barren of it free from it?

In the operations or modes of action proceeding themselves, there is certainly a
very close analogy: the analogy of opposition and contrast in their respective effects, there is scarce
any. Delay, besides its contingent, has, as hath just been
seen its certain and immediate mischiefs: mischiefs essential to
it, and inseparable from it. Precipitation has no such mischiefs.
It may exist have place without being productive of any mischief
at all: and the mischief of it, when it is productive of mischief, that mischief
is will always referable, referable in toto, to some one or other more of the
denominations of mischief already included in the list. This Hence Such
is the reason It is for this reason why, although at the same same time as that delay has here
been stationed in that place to which it is so well entitled in upon the
list of the evils incident to procedure, no such word as precipitation
is to be found in it.
