Such laws could not be perpetual unless the state
were perpetual: so it expected so to be? sure it might
not one of those laws be repeated?

Applied to the acts of the legislature means consisting
in the use of such language are too bad to be applied

repugnant to the letter of any such perpetuity seeking
law
