Evidence Introd.

Moreover, in looking over by him, whosoever he may
be, try where the labour of may be submitted to of
looking over any of the books as yet extant, by which the
principles rules actually pursued or in the judgment of the authors
proper to be pursued in the framing of the several parts of the
system in question, are undertaken to be delivered, will be
found in no small number of variety, proportions which
not being confronted with, and brought into subserviency to either of the above two
sorts of ends, must can not be considered in any other light character than that of
so many independent ends. Agreeing Corresponding thus in their nature
and description to the that principle above distinguished by
the appellation of the principle of caprice, they may be
distinguished from both those others by the common appellation
of capricious ends.

When one of these rules, maxims, propositions, principles,
is set up by any legislator, or Judge in effect though unavowedly acting in the character of
of a legislator, as a standard of propriety to conform to, as a mark to
steer by, as are and the observance or fulfilment of such rule as
an end to aim at, no attempt being made to shew that
no reference being at the same time made to any of the above
objects above characterized spoken of under the name appellation of the legitimate ends of
procedure, or consequently any attempt to shew on the
part of such rule any tendency to contribute in this or that way to the fulment
of those legitimate ends, he thereby (it is evident,
so many of those rules as he thus sets up, so many distinct
ends does he (it is evident) set up distinct from, independent
or, and thence as hath already been shewn repugnant to the
only true and legitimate end of procedure: viz: the fulfilment of
the predictions delivered by substantive law thus (the fulfilment of them being
understood to be upon the whole subservient to the dictates of general
utility) with the least quantity possible of collateral mischief
or inconvenience.
