Sinecures

A practice which in the case of deeds not to speak
of will of parliament has been pursued hence out of
mind by the gentlemen of the long robe law, has may on the present
occasion serve for the purpose of illustration.

A parcel of subjects designated by so many
terms substantive, are shot down together in one heap:
a parcel of attributive verbs for example, or
adjectives or particles, are in like manner at the same time shot
down in another heap: and the sort of hay stall
formed thus stocked with or formed of quisquilious
matter is what is called paid for under the name
of a deed, or if put together by learned hands a
last will.

But such as by the combined force of grammatical
and legal attraction, the bodies thus separated from
each other by the exertions hand of the draughtsmen that
in the mind of the reader their respective images seldom
fail to find one another out, it and matched in
suitable union, to assume each of them its proper
place. Each substantive finds out its attributive or attributives of
one or both orders, its proper adjectives or participle and its
proper advert, or its proper adjective or participle and as well as its adverb
(for bigamy in this case is not prohibited bigamy is at least connived) such are
in a word its proper mate or mates such as
and Lord Coke agreed in providing destining for it: and by any
mishap should any such untoward accident take place, as
that of a doubt which of two contending rivals was the proper mate,
should by any mis-
good or evil fortune become
matter of doubt
a very few hundred
pounds will not unfrequently commonly
suffice to clear it up.
