v VII
It may be said, that a doubt of this kind it may perhaps be said may be
solved by comparing together the several passages
of the same instrument in which the
synonymous expressions occur: on which of it
appear turn out that they are used throughout promiscuously,
it will hence appear that they have mean precisely
the same thing — But it has every man
both at once the presence of mind to think of, and the
time & patience to adopt it? Among such a variety of changes also can flatter himself with being able to distinguish changes those which are not designed from those which are? besides as it is chance
that makes the terms in question to be used
promiscuously (when they are so) may not the same
chance occasion sometimes their not being
so used, but applied in their respective places under
such circumstances as may give occasion
to suspect an their appropriation? + + of such a word on account of some apposite peculiarity of it's import to such a place?

It is not every one who comes a tyro or even
who comes a veteran to the perusal of this Branch
of the Law, that can distinguish at first glance the Words
material partial from the Words of Form immaterial expressions, & the Radical

(to borrow a Grammatical term) from the servile
nor consequently in which of a number it is the so where
as that they cannot be alter'd without it's being asserted
said to the at least the
common run of readers, by that singleness of expression
which should cut off the subject matter of all these
doubtings?

[To know the full force of a word an expression, a man must
know the several passages in which it is used; that is
this word is dispersed over the greatest part of the
Law, he must know the greatest part of the Law]
& this he must have present in his memory — in order
to be satisfied of the identity of 2 words: for as to other their
establishing of 1 diversity between them, a single example passage may
suffice.]

The reason of all this is that, according to the
customary method of going to work, they quickly
raise such a mist dust of words, as neither not even
themselves can see through.
