For further illustration, and to take find a case belonging to
statute law, from civil judicature pass on to criminal
and instead of sale or and selling, let the words be cut
and cutting. A law is made created, requiring of the Judge to
put to death every man that desirous with certain evil intentions therein
described, shall have been found guilty of cutting the body
of another: a law proposed and enacted doubtless in this view, that a man men by
whom but for this law mischief of that description might
have been perpetrated, may by the fear of the law be deterred
from it. The men in whom this wicked habit had
been observed, which wicked habit it was the object design of the
law to put an end to, at were habitual depredators, the
a class composed of the most illiterate and ignorant
among the people. What always has been and as long as
the law rule of nature continues in respect of cognoscibility in its present state of
always will be not only possible but altogether probable
is that without having known of its existence, men may
in any number come to be put to death for having
offended against this law. What neither has been nor ever
will be possible is, that by this or any other law "men's"
conduct should be influenced without any further than on the existence
of a law to that effect as well as the import of that law has been brought within his
knowledge.
