1. Text. 2. Explained. 3. Reasons. 4. – Text of sudden exigency.

To the head of Laws of sudden exigency for sudden use he will
refer all such laws in general as being of a penal are caused generally
considered as belonging to the General penal code: Laws by which
such acts such acts are prohibited and treated as offences, and as
such punished as by the impulse of some appetite
or some passion as man might if not apprized at least of
their being prohibited and in some way or other punishable
it might at any time at happen to any man to fall into
the commission of.

To preserve save himself on each instance from from
incurring the punishment or (according to the nature of the
law and the manner in which he his interest is affected by it) losing
the benefit of the right, whatever law is a law of sudden
use it is necessary that a man should bear in his
memory at all times not only have lodged in his mind
but should continue to bear on it at all times that
so when th as often as any incident that in virtue of the law calls for action happens to
take place, the perception of the incident may suffice
to being present the law to his view: for instance that
as often as an article of value of a nature to excite his
concupiscence presents itself to his notion, in such
measure sort as to present to him a temptation to committ
theft, the effect of it may be at the same time to present
to him a correct view of that part of the law by which
theft is described defined and punished: or acquire that as
often as it happens to a man after seeing himself losing any article
of value by theft to see the person of the theft within
his reach it the such theft may present to him at the same
time the recollection – and to a degree of accuracy sufficient for
practice , of a recollection of that part of the law in which
for the purpose of
stopping the theft or
relating recovering
the goods or bringing
the thief to justice it
has given to every
man or to the at least
to the party injured such and such powers.
