and inviolable Rule, for those who mean to
give the Reality, without contenting themselves
with the delusive shadow of Right Instruction, never
to give the Law without the Equity which controls it,
nor the Common Law without the Statute which
has altered it, nor the Letter without the Practice which modifies it into Effect.
