Thus this when properly consider'd is no objection to the expedience
of Notriety in general, not even in that particular instance
example: in such case what is the proper remedy? to keep the
Law unknown? no, but to make it better.

There is a fallacy too in the expression, when it is inferred—
that a Law is harmful because it is unknown, Law is —
never universally either known or unknown to some it will be known
to others not: and thus if the Law be in of itself a bad one
it shall often happen that the evils of it's notriety & it's
non-notriety
shall be felt at the same instant. While one
man is debarred from the enjoyment of a comfort, or from embarking
in a lucrative enterprise by the Terror of an impolitic
prohibition of which he had knowledge another shall
be smarting under the lash of Punishment for a disobedience
into which he could not have been betrayed nothing but ignorance would have betrayed him
his ignorance.
