deduced.

1. That for various purposes it is of importance that the distinction

3. That in under a compleat and well composed body of statutory law civil and penal
if compleat as it might be and ought to be no question of law
could arise other than what was grounded in some or
more of the words and phrases contained in it.

4. That in the penning of such a body of law one of the objects
should be to use such so to order the words and phrases of it

raised out of it may be as small as possible.

given once for all should be inserted in consigned to some part or other of the
code.
