In the Book which treated of Offences in
the general, it was became necessary to every now
and then to introduce particulalr offences
for means to the purpose of examples. All this while Mean time
these offences had not been defined: defined they
could not be for many reasons, till the several
copies of consideration applicable to
offences in general had been dispatched.

What we were all along obliged to do,
was, to take up with such our an ideas as
common usage had respectively annexed
to each: that is, in that truth, with ideas very
different in fact and doubtless in many parts of them in many persons very obscure: got in the main, it as was
to be hoped in the main arguing in a number of particulars
and clear sufficiently clear and sufficiently resembling to answer the purpose
for which they were produced. If not there
was no for it in that space of our disquisitions.

An act for instance might merit to be taken in
to the idea of Theft, as being productive of the
same sort of mischief with any of those the
most commonly comprized in it, that many men
would not have thought of taking in to [theirs]
their idea of that crime: at the same time if
there were acts enough likely to be taken
into it & as by all men to anwer the purpose for
which it was introduced in the place and
question, it was as well as if the idea of it
had been more compleat and accurate.
