it is every where, by to chance, a proportional allowance
shuld be made: the less chance there is of their
being known, present to a man's recollection, the simpler the formalities insisted
upon should be and the less removed from above the pitch of those
if any such there be which a man's natural sagacity
might prompt him

expect look for.

As to precaution the precautions which are levelled
a more particularly against [that species of forgery which]
acts operates by falsification, such as that of using words at length instead of cyphers there is a reason why the observance
of them should be made compulsory under a slight
penalty. [Were it left to the option of the parties], the
observance of them, if optional, would carry an appearance
of distrust by which persons of delicacy might be
disposed to waive it in cases in which it might
prove no more than necessary. This is
but one out of many cases in which it is may be of use
to a man to have compulsion to plead for pursuing
the dictates of his own choice. Refer for others to the Ch
