COMPOSITION. Vocabulorum Definitorum et Divisorum. XIV. VOLUMINOUSNESS. Divisions of Redundancy in general—
Redundancies may be {1st of Words Ideas {2d of Ideas Words
Redundancies of tautology
Superfluities original - X Superfluities Redundancies by repetition
Superfluous originally
Redundancies Superfluities {In terms denoting action+ + Including which are only terms denoting actions in terms go beyond which do not pass from the agent but terminate in himself: & are therefore called by the better more expressive name of Intransitives. or purpose - Verbs
{In terms denoting existences — Substantives }Nouns
{In terms denoting qualities — Attributive }
Superfluities Redundancies in all the terms of all three sorts are - 1st Accumulations
of Terms Lysonymity equi-ample so as to be convertible adaptible indifferently without any
change in the sense — as Stick & Staff — dwell & inhabit — clear of
Scarce any two words of a language (whereof one is not an imported one) are in absolutely that is every where synonymous, but many are relatively to the place which they occupy.
[N.B.
Synonymity may be 1st of words - 2dly of Sentences
1st of Words, which is sufficiently plain
2d Of Sentences when tho' the words of two given sentences, are not synonymous
to each synonymous, nor nor <add>even any</add> perhaps any to any word of the one taken singly to any word
of the other, yet the effect of all of each taken together is the same [in both.]
Superfluities by of which relates words denoting actions & passion only are alone susceptible
where the action comprising taking action alone for example to save repetitions denoted by each is distinct; yet so as that a semi-necessary

connexion subsists between them: in the same || || That is in offences conglomerate
of the same man:
not as with intent to Hunt Hunting [& taking] [tho'
a taking may be without Hunting
as by the prize not the offences conglomerate
which are
several
& Laws necessity between is {1st of Tendency
{2d of accomplishment
Of Tendency, when he cannot
do the first but it is in order that the
2d may ensue:
Of Accomplishment: when he
cannot do the first, but the 2d
does actually ensue.
(for if the necessity is perfect compleat <add>entire</add>,+ + be a necessity as it might be called if reflected, or of circulation circulating eith so as that
they be coordinate, either both a term generical term must be found out to
comprehend them all, or they must all be specified:) In these cases the employing
of that which denotes the inceptive is sufficient: as by excluding the narrowest from the
circle of permitted acts things, the widest most ample is excluded shut out of course.
N.B. Words in the Instruments taken for example as redundant, to be marked with initial letters referring of
to the head of redundancy to which they belong. The explanation of these is
to be printed on a double page in order to unfold for confrontation.
Rules for precise & Compendious designation

Such words of Laws, which as are to be are found in the Vocabulary, to be distinguished by
some emphatical mark in the printing — as by being printed in Italics or within
red Letters; which contrivance will be an a perpetual [standing] advertisement to the reader how to satisfy himself
